The National Domestic Workers Alliance is a nonprofit organization that organizes domestic workers in the United States to secure respect, recognition, and labor protections. It pursues protections by advancing state-level legislation, influencing national regulatory changes, and engaging with the International Labour Organization to align global standards, while elevating workers as leaders within a broader social and global justice movement. Founded in 2007 at the US Social Forum, it coordinates a nationwide network of affiliates and maintains offices in New York City, Washington, DC; Durham, North Carolina; Chicago, Illinois; Oakland, California; and Atlanta, Georgia. Its work centers on domestic workers such as nannies, cleaners, and home-care providers who often lack formal protections, seeking to improve working conditions and economic security. Through a nationwide affiliate network, the alliance positions itself within the public policy arena to drive changes at multiple levels. In May 2026, it launched Ask Aya, a multilingual chatbot designed to educate workers about rights, assist with negotiating pay, and draft employment contracts.
