Today, we ramped up our campaign to win a National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights with a Lobby Day in Washington, D.C.! Over 100 domestic workers, representing our entire Alliance, came to D.C. for the Care Workers Can’t Wait Rally with Congressional Champions and to meet with their elected officials.
Now, we’re calling on supporters around the country to join us tomorrow for our Domestic Workers Bill of Rights National Call-in Day. We need 1,000 supporters to commit to calling their member of Congress tomorrow.
Let us know we count on your support: RSVP to our National Call-in Day and we’ll text you all the information you need to participate.
The National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights is national legislation that includes domestic workers in common workplace laws for the first time while creating new protections and stronger ways to enforce them. This spring, we are working to raise awareness for this critical piece of legislation, while moving it toward eventual passage.
The pandemic not only showed us how essential care is to keep our society and economy going, it highlighted the precarious nature of work that domestic workers, disproportionately composed of Black, Latinx, Asian, and Indigenous and immigrant women, face everyday.
Our elected leaders have an opportunity to ensure that care jobs are good jobs. The National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights is a critical step in making that possible.
Domestic workers are one of the fastest-growing workforces in the nation, yet nannies, housecleaners, and home care workers earn poverty wages, and have historically been excluded from worker protections.
As a result, they often have no benefits, few legal protections, and little recourse or mechanisms to enforce their rights.
We will need ALL of our voices to keep moving this bill forward!
Thanks for all that you do,
Organizing Team
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.
