Senate Resolution No. 2314

BY: Senator RAMOS

 RECOGNIZING the New York Chapter of the National
 Domestic Workers Alliance

 WHEREAS, From time to time, this Legislative Body takes note of
certain organizations whom it wishes to recognize for their valued
contributions and to publicly acknowledge their endeavors which have
enhanced the basic humanity among us all; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
recognize the New York Chapter of the National Domestic Workers
Alliance; and

 WHEREAS, Born on October 13, 1924, Dorothy Bolden began working as a
domestic worker at the age of nine and continued for 50 years; in the
early 1960s, she started educating and advocating for the rights of
domestic workers such as nannies, caregivers of the elderly, and house
cleaners; and

 WHEREAS, In 1968, on the advice and encouragement of her neighbor,
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Dorothy Bolden founded the National
Domestic Workers Union of America (NDWUA); the NDWUA eventually
represented more than 30,000 domestic workers across 10 cities and was
the longest-surviving union of domestic workers in U.S. cities; Dorothy
Bolden helped legitimize and organize domestic workers on a scale the
country had never seen before and as a result, deserves the highest
praise and recognition for her unrelenting and admirable efforts; and

 WHEREAS, Each year, the National Domestic Workers Alliance and We
Dream in Black celebrate Dorothy Bolden's birthday and the legacy she
left for domestic workers; this year marks what would be her 100th
birthday; and

 WHEREAS, In 2010, New York became the first state to win a Domestic
Workers Bill of Rights, a benefit that undoubtedly was able to come to
fruition as a result of the lifelong efforts of Dorothy Bolden and other
pioneers alike; and

 WHEREAS, Domestic workers in New York play a pivotal role in the
country's electoral landscape, mirroring a national trend of systemic
inequities that are limiting many voters to thrive in their communities,
ranging from healthcare access to rising cost of living and a worsening
care crisis; despite New York's pioneering efforts, being the first
state to pass a Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, the struggle continues
for fair pay, adequate benefits, and robust legal protections; and

 WHEREAS, In June 2007, over 50 domestic workers from across the
country met in Atlanta, Georgia as part of the first United States
Social Forum (USSF) for a national domestic worker gathering; they came
together to support their organizing through exchanges and
capacity-building and represented thousands of childcare, house
cleaning, and home care workers who were organizing across the country
for dignity and justice; and

 WHEREAS, On the final day of the gathering these domestic workers
made a groundbreaking decision to form a national organization - the
National Domestic Worker Alliance; and

 WHEREAS, The New York Chapter lifts up the voices and experiences of
New York domestic workers through organizing, storytelling, workforce
development, and leadership development; the New York Chapter of NDWA
offer know your rights trainings; support for domestic workers to
recover stolen wages; leadersh
