The Next Generation of Domestic Worker Organizers!

In July, 20 members graduated from our first Domestic Worker Community Organizing Class. Over the three-month program, members learned how to build effective teams, be in generative conflict, facilitate meetings, conduct a one on one, create a power map assessment, learn about systems of oppression, and more! They also launched four committees (Membership, Worker Rights + Enforcement, Circles, and Campaigns) that will help build our political power, and advance our base building and leadership development goals! Read below to learn more about the course and hear from participants.

This training strengthens our movement with the skills and strategies we need to win
