National Domestic Workers Alliance

============================

John — Nannies, house cleaners, and home care workers face a unique challenge: they work in isolation and behind closed doors.

As a result too many face unsafe and uncertain conditions. Sexual harassment and exploitation are often the rule rather the exception. Yet these jobs remain some of the least protected, and most vulnerable jobs in our society — relying on an employer’s good will rather than commonplace standards.

Today we’re ramping up our campaign to fix this huge historical injustice by re-launching our bill to create a National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights with Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Ben Ray Luján that would ensure rights and benefits for all domestic workers across the country.

Will you join us to supercharge this campaign launch by adding your name urging Congress to pass the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights? [[link removed]]

Care work is on track to be one the fastest growing sectors in the next decade. But care workers — primarily Black, Latinx, Asian, immigrant and Indengenous women — are still governed by the laws of the slavery-era past.

Due to the explicit racist exclusion of domestic workers during the times of the New Deal era, domestic workers continue to be poorly paid, lack benefits and economic security, and are susceptible to discrimination and abuse .

We are fighting for domestic workers on many fronts, trying to win a bold public investment so that care jobs are good jobs AND to win the National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights to secure commonplace protections for domestic workers.

The relentless leadership of domestic workers has pushed ten states and two major cities to pass domestic workers bills of rights or protections. Now that the pandemic has shown how essential care is to keeping our society going and how precariously domestic workers survive, it is TIME for a *national* domestic workers bill of rights .

Will you join us as we launch our campaign to pass a National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights with Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Ben Ray Luján by adding your name to our petition calling on Congress to act at last? [[link removed]]

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.
