Personal transformation and civic-political participation go hand in hand. false true 5844102 4498379 2943 The California Domestic Worker Coalition is made up of 11 organizations statewide that organize both domestic workers and their employers to advocate for better wages, more stable employment and healthier working conditions for domestic workers. In 2024, our coalition reached a major milestone by concluding the first iteration of the California Domestic Worker Education and Outreach Project (DWEOP), a first-of-its-kind in the country pilot program aimed at addressing wage theft and other widespread workplace violations affecting domestic workers. This program was carried out in partnership with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement of the State of California.Together, our coalition organizations reached thousands of workers across the state. Here are some of the numbers: -Coalition organizers and member leaders made over 290,000 outreach contacts with workers-Held almost 600 labor protections & Know-Your-Rights workshops,resulting in over 15,000 workers trained-Made over 74,000 outreach contacts with Californias domestic employers to support them to create fair working relationships with the people they employ in their homes-Recuperated almost half a million dollars of stolen wages back into the hands of workers. In the second half of 2024 we initiated the application process to renew our partnership with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement in order to continue and strengthen DWEOP for another 5 years, after having won the allocation of an additional $35 million in the state budget for this purpose. We are excited to expand this work in the coming years, reaching tens of thousands of additional domestic workers statewide. In September, we celebrated the historic signing of SB 1350, authored by our legislative champion Senator Maria Elena Durazo of Los Angeles.Since 2020, our coalition has led a tireless campaign to end the exclusion of domestic workers from the states occupational safety and health laws. Together, we brought the voices and creative leadership of domestic workers to the State Capitol. SB 1350 amends the legal code in California to include the more than 175,000 domestic workers who are employed by agencies under Occupational Health & Safety protections. In October, in anticipation of the renewal and expansion of DWEOP, the Coalition transitioned out of being housed at Mujeres Unidas y Activas to a new fiscal sponsor, the Center for Empowered Politics Education Fund. As part of this move, we transferred more than $3 million in accumulated assets from MUAs bank accounts to those of our new fiscal sponsor. This move will help ensure that we have the administrative capacity to efficiently manage and implement a significantly expanded statewide program, allowing us to take on additional partner organizations. 3079024 Healing and personal growth programs: MUA continued offering a variety of wellness and trauma recovery programs to members, including peer counseling, grief support groups, parenting groups, Zumba, nutrition, arts for healing, and group coaching. A total of 1236 immigrant women participated in one or more of these programs in 2024. Organizing/Basebuilding: In 2023 and 2024, MUAs Crecer la Base (Grow the Base) team of organizers received intensive training and regular coaching from the Groundswell Organizing Institute, which in turn strengthened our basebuilding capacity. In 2024, we exceeded our anticipated outcomes in this area, reaching 1415 immigrant women (goal: 800-1000), of which 950 expressed interest in receiving further information (goal: 400-600), and 408 new women began participating as members (goal: 150). Vocational training: 170 women participated in vocational training workshops in 2024. Topics included: CPR certification for childcare workers, negotiating a fair wage, ergonomics for caregivers, non-toxic housecleaning, using your phone to look for employment, and more. (Goal: 85)Leadership development: MUA offers the following leadership training series. -Basebuilding Training (3 sessions)-Group Facilitator Training (4 sessions)-Peer Counselor Training (4 sessions)-Leadership for Community Power Training (6 sessions) -Grassroots Fundraising Training (1 session)In 2024 a total of 56 women graduated from one or more of these training series, with a majority participating in at least two of the series. (Goal: 50) 102 women participated in one or more leadership committees, this was a significant increase from the steady 70-75 total active leaders weve had every year for the last three years. Grupo Mam: MUA currently offers twice monthly peer support groups in the Maya Mam language to Guatemalan women for whom this is their native language, and now provides community services navigation and peer counseling in Maya Mam in our Oakland office every day of the week. To date, over 170 Indigenous Maya Mam women have participated in one or more of MUAs programs, with approximately 35 Mayan women participating on a regular basis. In collaboration with Canticle Farm, in 2024 Grupo Mam expanded a community garden project in the Fruitvale area of Oakland. As of 2024, there are now Maya Mam speakers in every program and committee in MUA. In late 2023 our Board created two spots for Mam speaking members, with the goal of ensuring that Indigenous women have a voice in our decisions. In 2024, we brought our Mam Program Coordinator onto the management team. Another two Mam leaders are representing nannies and housecleaners on the Leaders Council of the National Domestic Workers Alliance. Arts and culture: In collaboration with NAKA Dance Theater, MUA has been offering a variety of therapeutic and cultural arts programs to our members. In 2024 this included bordados feministas - an project to reclaim sewing circles as a feminist act via the embroidery of messages of empowerment onto patches that were then sewn into a quilt and displayed in local cafes and art galleries. Another project which ran from mid 2023 to late 2024 was the Weaving Wisdom project, in which Mayan Indigenous women from different municipalities of Guatemala met every Saturday at our Oakland office to engage in traditional weaving of Mayan clothing and to teach one another the designs of their regions. As a result, they produced new weavings that interwove the designs and colors of different regions into new beautiful pieces of art/clothing. These were then displayed for over a month in a beautiful art exhibit at EastSide Arts Alliance. Experienced weavers led guided tours of the exhibit for non-Mayan MUA members and allies, showing off their cultural and artisanal expertise. Advocacy Campaigns: Through our coalition work, in 2024 we achieved various policy victories statewide and locally, including:-The passage of SB686, a new statewide law which requires agencies that hire and employ domestic workers to comply with the CalOSHA guidelines -- the first ever enforceable health and safety legislation for domestic workers in California. -With EBASE (a local labor rights organization), we advocated for implementation of Oaklands Measure Z -- a law which we helped pass in 2019, which increased wages for hotel cleaning staff and created the Department of Workplace Enforcement Standards (DWES) in the City of Oakland. We arranged for DWES staff and prosecutors from the Alameda County District Attorneys office to meet with low-wage domestic workers and hotel workers to hear evidence on specific cases of severe exploitation and to advocate that they enforce laws against wage theft and sexual harassment in the workplace. 8923126 true true false true false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true 72 0 true 55 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 8 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X X Juana Flores 4156218140 3543 18th St Ste 23 San Francisco CA 94110 Juana Flores Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 110027 0 7281 Layla Cooper Co-Director 40.00 0.00 X 98110 0 13855 Jill Shenker Director 1.00 0.00 X 17544 0 0 Yolanda Macias Director 1.00 0.00 X 15900 0 0 Margarita Torres President 4.00 0.00 X X 3187 0 0 Sandra Hernandez Director 1.00 0.00 X 3187 0 0 Martha Herrera Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 2910 0 0 Adriana Embriz Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 1913 0 0 Floridalma Carrillo Vice President 1.00 0.00 X X 1400 0 0 Blanca Guevara Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 1110 0 0 Venecia Margarita Director 1.00 0.00 X 1047 0 0 Maria Vicente Director 1.00 0.00 X 632 0 0 Andrea Salinas Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 256967 21136 1 false false false 0 188529 1168563 5411776 13667 6768868 Program service fees 900099 2943 2943 2943 246899 246899 0 0 0 0 4477 188529 4477 0 0 Other income 900099 3687 3687 3687 7026874 2943 250586 4498379 4498379 0 0 0 280644 128929 139848 11867 0 3082284 2488580 403420 190284 132129 106759 17181 8189 490872 373723 82511 34638 260312 204373 39990 15949 0 42772 42084 688 70990 70990 2150 2150 11500 11500 0 353001 304519 40471 8011 23252 10580 238 12434 228845 181917 30620 16308 118873 95558 16741 6574 0 319257 228385 65934 24938 30914 24275 5899 740 0 220266 211071 4384 4811 0 0 0 26578 18647 5759 2172 Other expenses 4093 3197 896 0 10197111 8923126 925570 348415 651811 552 10832337 9122401 1668357 1252277 688019 176072 0 0 0 0 142228 95143 0 0 0 0 0 666288 481249 14649040 11127694 494450 331699 694600 506242 1189050 837941 X 6710145 7620942 6749845 2668811 13459990 10289753 14649040 11127694 -3170237 X false true X true false X 7092974 8289928 10197442 7152247 6768868 39501459 0 0 7092974 8289928 10197442 7152247 6768868 39501459 6351248 33150211 2196 3138 10995 114200 246856 377385 0 10293 258 13054 2399 3687 29691 39908535 67210 0.83070 0.84970 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 1464 28516 29980 10167131 10197111 659856 164964 false 456714 441143 506823 659856 2064536 3096804 74762 57301 305530 29980 467573 114179 110286 126706 164964 516135 774203 7548 9253 3138 1464 21403 Operating lease liability 506242 506242 X 7026874 7026874 7026874 10197111 10197111 10197111 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Internal Revenue Service and the California Franchise Tax Board have determined that the Organization is exempt from federal and state income taxes under IRC 501(c)(3) and California RTC 23701(d).
