The National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) is a labor-union-aligned and left-of-center-foundation-funded worker center which organizes and advocates for legislation concerning domestic employees such as child caregivers, household cleaners, elder caretakers, and similar workers.5
Background
The groundwork for the National Domestic Workers Alliance was laid in the late 1990s, when Ai-jen Poo began to organize domestic workers.9 NDWA has partnered with the far-left Institute for Policy Studies on issue research and policy development.5
Programs
We Belong Together
We Belong Together is a project of the NDWA formed in 2010 to oppose Arizona legislation which would have involved state law enforcement in immigration enforcement before the legislation’s implementation was halted by a court order.29 Other notable donors include the Surdna Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Nathan Cummings Foundation, the NoVo Foundation associated with the family of Warren Buffett, NEO Philanthropy, and the Rockefeller Foundation.29 From 2013 through 2016, these and other left-wing foundations funneled $14.4 million to NDWA.32
Its largest single donation went the Domestic Worker Legacy Fund, a sister organization to NDWA that received $490,000 in 2015. 0){
