Joy, Motivation and Awe

Just over a week ago, over 150 representatives from NDWA’s Affiliate Organizations and Chapters, our national Worker Councils, partners and movement allies gathered in Washington D.C. for our NDWA National Congress and 15th Anniversary Celebration. More than 1,000 workers and supporters also joined the celebration via livestream from all around the country.

Whether you were in the room, participating via livestream, or are getting these updates now for the first time, we wanted to take this moment to say THANK YOU — for helping to make the domestic worker movement a powerful force and ensuring our 15th anniversary year is one of joy, motivation and awe. Every day, our collective voice grows stronger and it was our honor to bring to life the stories of both our domestic worker leaders and allies leading up to and during the event. And, if you missed it, you can always watch a short recap of the celebration here.
