John —

In a moment I’m going to ask you to make a donation before Black History Month ends, but first I want to explain why investing in Black women’s leadership is so critical to building the care society we all want and deserve.

From creating mutual aid societies to leading labor rights movements to serving on the frontlines of the fights for gender and racial justice to stepping up for Black immigrants, Black women have always believed in justice, equity and fairness.

Because we sit at the intersection of race, gender and, often, poverty, Black women know firsthand what it feels like to be abused, exploited, and disenfranchised.

But we also know that, when Black women's leadership is centered, when our voices are amplified, big things happen and everyone wins.

From Harriet Tubman, who bravely led so many enslaved Black people to freedom, to activists like Geraldine Miller, Melnea Cass, Dorothy Bolden, and many more, Black women continue to show that we have the power to lead us all towards a society that will benefit everyone.

With just hours left in Black History Month I want to ask: Can we count on you to support our work building Black leadership in 2023 by helping us hit our Black History Month goal of $3,000?

NDWA believes in the leadership of Black women.

Black domestic workers are guiding the care movement and daring us all to center community in order to build a society that allows all people to live with dignity and respect.

I’m personally passionate about recruiting even MORE Black domestic workers to the National Domestic Workers Alliance, because we have been the foundation of domestic worker organizing throughout history.

I want Black domestic workers to see the benefits of collective action, to use their power to help:

• WIN bills of rights in more states and cities to ensure domestic workers receive the protections they deserve
• PASS the National Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, ensuring paid overtime, sick days, safe and healthy work conditions, and fair wages for all domestic workers
• MOBILIZE millions of Black women and other women of color to engage in the democratic process, to have their voices heard and engage in year-round organizing

It is no accident that these goals are directly aimed at undoing a cruel and racist legacy of oppression and exclusion. The vision NDWA is fighting for is a vision that is rooted in Black women’s liberation and I want to ask for your support to achieve it.

Can you show your support and donate today to help NDWA hit our Black History Month goal of $3,000?
