Dear John — I am honored and excited to formally invite you to NDWA's 15th Anniversary Virtual Celebration [[link removed]] , which will take place Friday, September 16th from 5-9pm ET !

** RSVP TODAY → [[link removed]]

In 2007, we began organizing nannies on New York City playgrounds with the goal of building on the enduring legacy of the domestic worker movement while lifting the women who do the work that makes all other work possible in this country.

Fifteen years later, we are not only one of the largest membership-based alliances of women of color in the country, we have also taken our movement from the swing sets to the halls of Congress, winning groundbreaking local, state, and federal policy victories that are creating the caring future we know is possible.

With your support and partnership, we’ve achieved the unthinkable — we’ve shifted the national lens around care into a collective responsibility and one that’s necessary for our economic and societal progress.

Together, we built power from the margins when we were told it would be impossible, and we challenged who gets to hold it; expanded our movement to include artists, elected officials, engineers, and economists; organized with and for care workers, working moms, and family caregivers; and welcomed so many people of all walks of life into our movement.

As an organization, we choose our moments of celebration carefully, and this milestone is an important one to bring our community together.

There are a few ways to join in the celebration:

* Register here by Sunday, September 11 to watch the celebration live. [[link removed]]

* Host a fundraising house party and invite all of your friends to join us on the 16th and support NDWA. Click here to register and check the box that says "Yes, I am interested in hosting a fundraising watch party." We will be in touch with you directly to provide you with a unique link to send to your guests — and info about some special swag for the top fundraisers! [[link removed]]

* Share your story! Tell us what care means to you and how a care worker — a nanny, housecleaner, or caregiver — has made a difference in your life. We plan to take as many stories as possible and share them during our 15th anniversary celebration. Your experience will remind event attendees why we do this work, and will be the perfect representation of the care and support you provide NDWA year after year. [[link removed]]

As we recognize our 15 year anniversary, we are aware of what it will take to meet this moment in history — one where the need for care can no longer be ignored, and a collective realization that we all want a country where domestic workers, and all those who depend on their care, are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.

This is our time and together, we will continue to build power for the future. We couldn’t have gotten this far without your support and generosity.

Warmly,
