The National Domestic Workers Alliance is an advocacy organization promoting the rights of domestic workers in the United States. Founded in 2007, it is made up of 4 local chapters and 63 affiliate organizations around the country, along with thousands of individual members.[1][2] Their work advocates for low-income laborers in the context of broader social justice issues, including immigration reform, domestic violence, and more recently the #Metoo movement. . .Ai-jen Poo is the director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance.[6] Poo was born in Taiwan. She moved to the US as an infant, then back to Taiwan, then to Indiana, then California, then Connecticut. Her mother was a PhD student, so she was raised largely by the women in her community. When Poo was studying at Columbia, she started volunteering with CAAV, which is where she became aware of the overlooked needs of domestic workers. . .Alicia Garza, who co-founded the Black Lives Matter network, is the Director of Strategy and Partnerships at the National Domestic Workers Alliance. . .: National Domestic Workers Alliance
