National Domestic Workers Alliance

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

John — the straw broke when he tried to abuse me. So I ran away.

I had been cleaning, cooking, and caring for his three kids for six months. I lived in his home from Sunday to Friday, paid just $40 a week, but I wasn’t going to wait for my final payment if it meant being abused .

I have worked as a domestic worker for more than 20 years. I've had a few great employers, but I've suffered too — and many domestic workers suffer even more than I have.

Millions of Latinx, Black, and Asian immigrant women like me are often in the position of praying employers do the right thing every time we enter a home, because we are EXCLUDED from the most basic workplace protections.

The National Domestic Workers Alliance is ramping up our campaign to correct these injustices, and with a critical end of year fundraising deadline approaching, John, I'm asking you to make a much-needed donation today. [[link removed]]

I migrated to the United States in 1994. I started cleaning houses, babysitting and taking care of adults. After six years, I suffered two attempts of sexual abuse, wage theft, and verbal abuse.

I had the courage to report the abuse to the authorities and it was the best decision I made.

I was referred to a women's aid organization who educated me about my rights, and that’s how I met the organization Fuerza del Valle, which is now called Border Workers United, where I’m still organizing!

I didn't know what my rights were at the time — but now I do, and it makes me angry because we have so few. As domestic workers, there still are labor laws and protections that don't apply to us — but the National Domestic Workers Alliance is leading the way to change this at long last.

John: will you make a critically needed donation today to support our work ending this discrimination against domestic workers ahead of our end of year fundraising deadline? [[link removed]]
