The pandemic and the 2020 elections proved what we’ve always known — Black women are essential to our economy, democracy, and society.

Yet, our work continues to be horribly undervalued and underpaid: Black women are paid only 63 cents to every dollar that white, non-Hispanic men are paid.

It takes the average Black woman, working full-time year-round, eight extra months to earn what the average white man earns in one year — all the way to today, August 3rd, Black Women's Equal Pay Day. For Black domestic workers the disparity is even worse.

We Dream in Black (WeDiB), NDWA’s movement-building initiative that uplifts the leadership of Black women, is leading the charge to end this injustice by building Black women leaders who advocate for all of us.

WeDiB's Black Organizing Institute kicks off in September — and with a donation of $15 your financial support can power the training of more Black women domestic workers as we transform the future of work for Black women at this crucial time.

Numerous studies indicate that Black women would have to wait until 2124 to reach pay equity with white men if wages continue to change at the current pace.

This is not OK.

But pay equity is about more than simply ensuring that Black women are paid on par with their white male co-workers.

WeDiB is also radically reimagining how this country values Black women’s labor and working to ensure that Black women are centered in our economy.

We have spent countless hours listening to and building relationships with hundreds of domestic workers around the country. The result? The Unbossed Agenda, an innovative Black Workers Agenda that gives power back to the visions of Black women, immigrant women, and low-wage workers – some of the most invisible, essential, and unprotected workers in our country.

We are harnessing the collective power and visibility of Black caregivers, nannies, and housecleaners, all while working at the intersections of race, gender and class. But we need your support so that we can continue to build this powerful movement.

John, chip in $15 today and help us build Black domestic worker power. Your support would allow us to:

• Continue training Black domestic workers, at our September Organizing Institute and beyond, so that they know what their labor and civil rights are and how to advocate for themselves at work.
• Grow our We Dream in Black chapters that are building Black organizing infrastructure in key states across the South and around the country.
