John — Too many of the incredible women who care for our homes and our families – the majority of whom are women of color – face unsafe and uncertain working conditions where sexual harassment and exploitation are often the rule rather the exception. To add insult to injury, they often earn barely enough — an average of $11 an hour or less — to feed themselves and their families.

Things are getting worse. Domestic workers, who were already struggling with uncertainty in so many areas of their lives, are feeling the impact as inflation pushes up the prices of everything from eggs to electricity and as the Supreme Court rolls back many hard-earned rights.

No wonder domestic workers are scared. But we can help take the fear away.

We are ramping up our campaign to pass a National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights to protect and lift up domestic workers, and that means we’re making big budgetary decisions about how hard we can push.

John, will you make a $12 contribution today so we can unleash our fiercest campaign ever and help take the fear away for domestic workers when they show up to work?

All over the country domestic workers are exploited. Sometimes it’s illegal, but just as often it’s LEGAL, because domestic workers have NO federal sexual harassment, minimum wage, or maximum work week protections.

That’s why we have worked over the past 15 years to grow the organizing power of domestic workers. Our movement is growing stronger each and every day! After hundreds of domestic workers, supporters, allies and members of Congress gathered during a powerful lobby day in May 2022, we won a critical milestone in our campaign: the House of Representatives' Education and Labor committee just held a hearing for the National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights!

While the hearing marks a historic step toward moving the Bill to the House floor for a vote, we haven’t won the battle — yet. It will take everything we’ve got to take this momentum and ensure that Congress urgently takes action to pass a National Domestic Worker Bill of Rights now.

John, will you chip in $12 to help us pull out all the stops in our campaign end this long history of injustice?

For generations, the domestic worker movement has fought hard to establish rights that would allow dignity and respect in the workplace. Now, for the first time since the New Deal, Congress has an opportunity to end historic exclusions that devalued the workforce while ensuring the economic security of domestic workers and the overall economic growth of our economy.

We all have a part to play in creating lasting change and ensuring that these essential workers can earn a decent wage, put food on the table, and receive the benefits they deserve.

We hope you, John, will take this opportunity to make a meaningful, lasting difference in the lives of domestic workers by making a much-needed donation of $12.

Thank you for all you do,
