The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles have left entire communities in crisis—destroying more than 12,000 homes, schools, and places of safety and stability.
For domestic workers—more than half of whom are Black, Latinx, and immigrant women nationwide—the wildfires have made an already fragile care safety net more likely to collapse.
Now, many of them are struggling to meet their basic needs while they try to get to the other side of this unthinkable tragedy.
We need your help. Can you make a donation to the 'We Care: Domestic Worker Relief Fund' and support domestic workers during the Los Angeles wildfires crisis? Your donation will be used to support our trusted affiliate organizations in Los Angeles, including CHIRLA, Instituto Educación Popular (IDEPSCA), and Pilipino Workers Center, that are providing:
- Emergency financial assistance for housing, food, and medical care.
- Basic supplies to help domestic workers and their families rebuild their lives.
- Long-term recovery support to ensure they can get back on their feet.
Domestic workers are disproportionately impacted and often overlooked in recovery efforts due to a lack of worker protections, low wages, and systemic inequities tied to gender, race, and immigration status.
As they face the aftermath of the LA wildfires, many are struggling to recover without access to safety nets like paid leave or unemployment insurance. Your donation can provide critical relief to help them rebuild their lives.
We understand that many of us are feeling the strain of rising costs and inflation. But for domestic workers in Los Angeles, the wildfires have created an even greater crisis. These essential workers, who already face significant challenges, urgently need support to recover and rebuild.
These are the workers who care for our loved ones, clean our homes, and support our communities. Yet, as workers in private homes, they’re some of the first to lose income during times of crisis and some of the last to receive aid.
We’ve seen it time and time again: when we come together, we can overcome even the most difficult challenges. Domestic workers have always been there for us—now it’s our turn to be there for them.

National Domestic Workers Alliance
Thank you for being a dedicated supporter of the National Domestic Workers Alliance!
We're working day and night to win respect, recognition, and labor rights and protections for the more than 2.5 million nannies, house cleaners, and homecare workers.
The majority of domestic workers sit at the center of some of our nation’s most decisive issues because of who they are and what they do: they are women – mostly women of color, immigrants, mothers, and low-wage workers. They are impacted by almost every policy affecting the future of our economy, democracy and country.
Domestic workers can lead us toward a new, inclusive vision for the future for all of us -- and your grassroots support is the fuel that can get us there.
