Domestic Workers

The National Domestic Workers Alliance organizes domestic workers in the United States for respect, recognition and labor standards.

Whether you’re caring for someone now, are thinking about caregiving in the future, or just trying to take care of yourself, you have something to say about care.

We want to hear from you.

Join us for the Day to Have Your Say & be a part of the convo: https://t.co/3DjUL6twIQ

[Rep. Summer Lee @RepSummerLee]

Domestic work will and has always been real work.

Today, on International Domestic Workers Day, we honor the contributions of domestic and care workers who deserve the same fundamental labor rights as any other employee.

[Domestic Workers @domesticworkers]

Thank you @mychal3ts and @RepDeliaRamirez for advancing the #MELTICEAct and a vision rooted in care, not detention.

The bill would end immigrant detention and surveillance programs and invest in families staying together.

Children and families need care & community—not detention.

Thank you @RepGrijalva for joining the #ReadThemHome campaign and standing up for the freedom and dignity of families and children. We'll keep fighting to end family separation.

Kids walked the halls of Congress with teddy bears in hand to deliver one message: End child detention now.

Families detained in Dilley and Delaney Hall report unsafe conditions, lack of medical care, and trauma—all funded by our tax dollars. Join us: https://t.co/BVgWXN0Ilp

Julissa Natzely Arce Raya (@julissaarce) delivered a powerful message at our rally to free children & families from detention: even the youngest children understand the cruelty of family separation.

Help us end family separation and join the movement: https://t.co/BVgWXN0Ilp

Protect the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. Protect D.C.’s enforcement model. Protect the workers who make all other work possible.

Make your voice heard by emailing the councilmembers on the Judiciary and Public Safety Committee here: https://t.co/9Cx5Zxz73u

[Domestic Workers @domesticworkers]

D.C. has some of the strongest worker protections in the U.S. But rights only matter if workers can use them.

The Mayor’s budget proposal cuts $1.1M from 2 programs that make those rights real: the Workplace Rights Grant Program & the Domestic Worker Employment Rights Program.

[Domestic Workers @domesticworkers]

We’re calling on the D.C. Council, especially the Judiciary & Public Safety Committee, to fully restore the $1.1M. Workers fought for these protections, and we can’t let them be hollowed out now.

[Domestic Workers @domesticworkers]

Yesterday, domestic workers went to Richmond with a clear message to @GovernorVA: we’re deeply disappointed SB28 wasn’t signed. Live-in workers deserve overtime pay—long overdue.

Thank you @CandiMundonKing for receiving us. We’re counting on action in 2027.

[Domestic Workers @domesticworkers]

Today on Día del Niño, @sujaramillo reminds us: being bilingual is a superpower—it connects worlds.

Every child deserves to see their culture as strength, not “other.” For kids in detention, that truth is often lost.

[Domestic Workers @domesticworkers]

Our caregivers knows that childhood should be filled with safety, joy, and the freedom to be a kid. No child should have their development shaped by confinement.

Ending family detention isn’t just a policy choice—it’s a moral imperative.

Seniors helped build this country, now they’re fighting for the people who care for them. Today in DC, seniors, care workers & lawmakers including @RepPressley demanded the Supreme Court & Congress protect #TPS and the immigrant caregivers families depend on #CareForSeniors

[Columbia Institute of Global Politics @ColumbiaIGP]

“We're going to be having 1 million conversations with caregiving families about what they are experiencing… so that when we are talking about these policies and these solutions, we are truly reflecting what everyday working families need and deserve in this country.”

Protecting Temporary Protected Status is crucial to protecting caregivers.

Thank you @RepPressley, @SenMarkey , and @SenLBR for your leadership in defending our immigrant communities and their rights.

[Domestic Workers @domesticworkers]

Thank you for being a care champion 🧡

[Congresswoman Sara Jacobs @RepSaraJacobs]

April is Care Workers Recognition Month. It's so important that we uplift the workers who keep our kids, aging parents, and loved ones with disabilities safe and supported – and ensure their immense value and hard work are reflected in fair pay, benefits, and dignity at work.
