In this chapter, I build upon my past scholarship around what I call the governance of care, or the policies, politics, and policy formation processes that organize and distribute the resources, relationships, and labor necessary to maintain life (Nasol, 2023). I expand upon, particularly, what it means to build a “governance of care from below,” or in other words, the new worlds that immigrant women, particularly migrant reproductive workers, are forging through their practices of care during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. I look at how migrant women are (and have been) building the foundation for a governance that centers life, is liberated from racial and patriarchal capitalism, and organizes care and social reproduction in a way where peoples’ needs are met. I am in conversation with the many scholars and activists that are sketching what “care as new world making” means, not only in theory but in practice (Woodly et al., The politics of care. Contemporary Political Theory, 20 (4), 890–925, 2021). I engage with Francisco-Menchavez’s concept of “communities of care” and Kneese and Hobart’s “radical care” as ways to understand how migrant care workers are contributing to this new world (Francisco-Menchavez, The labor of care: Filipina migrants and transnational families in the digital age. University of Illinois Press, 2018; Kneese & Hobart, Radical care: Survival strategies for uncertain times. Social Text, 38 (1), 1–16, 2020). Throughout the article, I share how migrant women have been able to practice care—from forging deep relationships, redistributing care and life-saving resources, to political organizing. Further, I discuss how workers offer models of building connection and solidarity during times of crises and violence created by the state itself, and how we can continue to build spaces and institutions that protect and defend our communities.
