The National Domestic Workers Alliance (www.domesticworkers.org) organizes domestic workers in the United States for respect, recognition and labor standards. We work to guarantee labor protections for domestic workers by winning legislation at the state level, pushing for regulatory changes at the national level, through culture and narrative change work, and by elevating domestic workers as key leaders in building a powerful movement for social and global justice. The Alliance formed in 2007 at the US Social Forum and is currently made up of over 70 local affiliate organizations and NDWA chapters, as well as a growing base of individual members. Overall, more than 200,000 nannies, home care workers and housecleaners in all 50 states are involved in NDWA’s work.
