How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Care as Essential Infrastructuremethodology: care-as-infrastructureBy framing care work as foundational to economic and social functioning, we build public and political support for policies that recognize, protect, and fund domestic work, because this reframing shifts care from a private responsibility to a public good.
- Collective Power Building through Worker Organizingmethodology: collective_power_buildingBy organizing domestic workers and developing their leadership, we achieve policy and programmatic change, because sustained collective action rooted in lived experience creates political leverage and movement strength.
- Narrative Change through Storytelling and Popular Culturemethodology: narrative-change-through-popular-cultureBy elevating personal, character-driven stories through cultural partnerships, we shift public perception and build political will for domestic workers’ rights, because emotional and relatable narratives change hearts and minds more effectively than data alone.
- Technology as a Tool for Structural Innovationmethodology: technology_for_structural_changeBy developing scalable technological tools through NDWA Labs, we improve working conditions and model structural reforms, because technology can systematize worker power and replicate solutions across sectors.
