National Domestic Workers Alliance

The National Domestic Workers Alliance is an alliance of domestic and household workers in the United States and is a vehicle to build power nationally as a workforce. NDWA is organizing to improve the living and working conditions of domestic workers; win respect and justice from employers and government for exploited domestic workers; change the racism and sexism that has led to the persistent devaluing of this labor so that workers, their children, and the general public honor the dignity of domestic work; end the exclusion of domestic workers from recognition and protection; and continue a brave legacy of resistance by supporting movement-building among domestic workers and other communities and workers in struggle.
