united domestic workers of America
United Domestic Workers of America is a union made up of over 171,000 home care and family child care providers across California. UDW’s vision of justice is a world where everyone has the resources they need to live a good life, where equality and dignity are possible, and where no one is discriminated against based on who they are, where they live, or who they love. I produced and directed a video campaign for the rebrand of UDW, leading a team in telling the stories of 4 in-home caregivers and UDW advocates in their day-to-day lives to demonstrate the profound impact of the union on its members and the communities they serve.
