Position Summary

The National Domestic Workers Alliance (www.domesticworkers.org) organizes domestic workers in the United States for respect, recognition and labor standards. We work to guarantee labor protections for domestic workers by winning legislation at the state level, pushing for regulatory changes at the national level, through the International Labor Organization at the global level, and elevating domestic workers as key leaders in building a powerful movement for social and global justice. NDWA formed in 2007 at the US Social Forum and currently represents 75 local affiliates and chapters, plus thousands of individual workers across the country. The GA Basebuilding Organizer will deepen and expand the GA organizing program, cultivating new worker contacts—primarily agency‑employed home‑care workers and family childcare providers—in the Middle Georgia area, while supporting and building the leadership of the existing Middle Georgia‑based membership.
