Domestic Worker Community Organizing Partnerships

The purpose of the 2022-2023 Community Organizing to Reach Domestic Workers funding was to support community organizing projects that would help the Seattle Office of Labor Standards (OLS) build wider and deeper connections with domestic workers, particularly in communities of color, to understand their domestic worker rights in Seattle. OLS selected three community-based organizations to receive funding for their domestic worker community organizing projects.
