A Better Balance is a national nonprofit legal advocacy organization based in New York, NY. They are dedicated to work-family justice and use the power of the law to ensure that all workers can care for themselves and their loved ones without compromising their economic security. Their expert legal team fights against discrimination faced by pregnant workers and caregivers and advocates for supportive work-family policies such as paid sick time, paid family and medical leave, fair scheduling, and accessible, quality childcare and eldercare.
A Better Balance's strategies include policy and legislative advocacy, providing free legal services and representation to vulnerable workers through their helpline, and educating workers about their rights. They have made significant impact, with all 50 states now having stronger legal protections for pregnant workers under the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, 60 million workers gaining the right to paid sick time under state and local laws, and 1.5 million workers having their rights vindicated through impact litigation and direct legal services.
