Dear John,

Today is a key day for us -- it’s the day we honor Dorothy Bolden: an inspirational Black leader who took on the brutal racist treatment of domestic workers in Atlanta in the 60s and ORGANIZED and WON.

It’s the kind of American history that President Trump has done everything in his power to erase and ignore -- most recently announcing a ‘patriotic education’ grant to develop a ‘pro-American’, and anti-Black curriculum for students.

In the face of these blatant racist headwinds coming from the White House down, our team is working tirelessly to reclaim and reinvigorate the inspirational organizing Dorothy Bolden pioneered.

We’ve just brought together hundreds of Black care providers, house cleaners and childcare professionals for the We Dream in Black 2020 Virtual Organizing Institute -- a huge movement building moment that uplifts the leadership of Black women -- and we need your support to take what we learned at this event and turn it into action.

Can you chip in $25 to help us build Black domestic worker power at this crucial time?

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.

There have been so many attacks on Blackness - and Black women - this year... it's been gut punch after gut punch. From the latest decision not to convict Breonna Taylor’s killers, to Trump banning diversity training*, to the Governor of Texas trying to make donating to some civil rights groups a felony**, we are fighting generations of ingrained anti-Black power -- and we are not deterred in the slightest.

In unity & struggle,

Aimée-Josiane Twagirumukiza
Director of Black Organizing, National Domestic Workers Alliance
