We Dream in Black (WeDiB) is an initiative of the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) and is the organizing home that centers the voices and experiences of Black, Afro-Latinx, and Afro-descendant domestic workers. Across the diaspora, our organizing is our power. We Dream in Black Organizing Institute is our annual gathering space that celebrates and uplifts the voices of Black domestic workers across the Diaspora. We come together to share stories, celebrate our achievements, learn collectively, showcase our leadership, share in healing, and foster community building.
The We Dream in Black 2023 Organizing Institute will be held both in person in Atlanta, GA and virtually on Saturday October 14, 2023. Virtual workshops will be held from 9:45 am- 5:00 pm.
Throughout this hybrid event, domestic workers will be showcasing their special talents, and in the spirit of networking and community building, every worker is encouraged to invite other Black domestic workers to join us virtually.
Note: The Organizing Institute will only be held in English.
