About NDWA

We develop new policies and advocate for solutions that will improve working conditions and economic security for domestic workers. Voting is one way to reimagine a future that allows us all to live with dignity, safety, and respect. We work to educate and engage underrepresented women of color voters because we know that when women of color vote, we build a better world. We leverage the power of popular culture to shift key narratives and elevate character-driven stories of domestic workers by partnering with artists and storytellers.

Many domestic workers are privately employed by families, making it difficult to educate both employers and workers about new protections. And domestic workers, who are sometimes paid cash without any formal work agreement, can be particularly vulnerable to retaliation. At NDWA, we bring our vision to life by building power that unites us rather than divides us – we wield that power to win change through our programs and campaigns. With your help, we can win dignity and protections for millions of domestic workers and build a caring economy that works for all of us. Send a letter to Congress in support of the National Domestic Worker Bill of Rights — it takes just 2 minutes. Together, we have the power to make a difference and shape policies that will improve the lives of all domestic workers.
