Domestic Worker Community Organizing Funding
The purpose of the 2022-2023 Community Organizing to Reach Domestic Workers funding is to support community organizing projects that will help the Seattle Office of Labor Standards (OLS) build wider and deeper connections with domestic workers in communities of color to understand their domestic worker rights in Seattle.
OLS conducted a competitive application process that was announced in June 2022. Preference was given to projects that use a clear organizing strategy (e.g., peer-to-peer), involve mutually benefiting partnerships, and/or build relationships in Asian/Pacific Islander and Black/African Descent communities. OLS selected three community-based organizations to receive funding for their domestic worker community organizing projects.
