NDWA was founded in 2007 by domestic workers and organizers from around the country. Our national alliance has grown from this founding group of 13 organizations to now more than 70 affiliate organizations, and local chapters developed by NDWA in Atlanta, Durham, Washington DC and New York City, and individual members from states without affiliates or chapters to join. To date, the Alliance reaches over 250,000 nannies, housekeepers, and home care workers in 44 cities and 20 states.

NDWA Labs is the innovation arm of the National Domestic Workers Alliance.
