John — I'm Delores, a proud Black domestic worker. I've been a childcare worker for over 25 years, dedicating my life to caring for others.

Years ago, I didn't know about sick days. I didn't know about wage theft. I didn't know about working long hours without time and a half, or federal holiday pay. If you don’t know what you’re entitled to, you lose out on a lot.

That all changed when I joined NDWA's We Dream in Black (WeDiB) Chapter in New York. Through WeDiB, I’ve learned to negotiate contracts and fight for fair pay and I found a community that gives me strength and power to stand up and fight for what I want and deserve.

Now, I want to make sure WeDiB is able to reach as many Black nannies, housecleaners, and care workers EARLY in their journey so that they receive the pay, benefits and respect they deserve.

Your donation today will directly contribute to important training programs, including our We Dream in Black Organizing Institute, and power building efforts for Black domestic workers. Donate today John and, together, we can build a future where domestic work is not just recognized but celebrated.

Reflecting on my journey, I can't help but feel an immense sense of gratitude for the unwavering support and invaluable knowledge that WeDiB has provided me. The monthly meetings, advocacy campaigns, and the community have not only transformed the way I work, but have helped me to feel more empowered and less alone.

That's why, even after a long day of work, I make attending chapter meetings a priority . Even if I'm on the train or bus, I'm listening in, getting as much information as I can and learning valuable tools to help fellow workers who are facing challenges.

I encourage my fellow nannies, housekeepers, cleaners and elder care workers to get involved so they know what is available to them. I do outreach work, and encourage others to attend meetings so they learn about the changes in the laws and how to fight for more.

Will you stand with us, John, and commit to supporting a future where every domestic worker, regardless of their background, is treated with the dignity and respect they deserve?

This is not just my story — it's OUR movement. As a fellow advocate for the rights and dignity of domestic workers, you understand the importance of investing in the leadership of Black women like me.

Our movement goes beyond individual experiences — it's about unity, empowerment, and creating lasting change. We're all on different paths, but we share a common commitment to standing up against injustice.

Our movement needs support to continue growing and making a difference in the lives of domestic workers across the nation. Together, we can create lasting change and forge a future where every domestic worker is universally valued, protected, and empowered.

Thank you,

Delores
