https://www.firstshift.org/join-us

First Shift seeks a Staff Attorney to Help D.C. Domestic Workers 
Enforce their Rights!
First Shift is excited to launch a new project in 2025 to help D.C. domestic workers enforce their rights under the Domestic Worker Employment Rights Amendment Act of 2022, a law that we worked with the D.C. Chapter of the National Domestic Workers Alliance to get passed! 

The lawyer will support nannies, in-home care workers, and house cleaners to: enforce their new protection against employment discrimination under the D.C. Human Rights Act; request contracts with their employers (now required by law); and file claims for unpaid wages.

We are eager to start this project as soon as we find the right candidate! We need a lawyer who is bilingual in English and Spanish.
