MISSION - WHAT WE DO

A Better Balance uses the power of the law to advance justice for workers, so they can care for themselves and their loved ones without jeopardizing their economic security. Our expert legal team combats discrimination against pregnant workers and caregivers and advances supportive policies like paid sick time, paid family and medical leave, fair scheduling, and accessible, quality childcare and eldercare. When we value the work of providing care, which has long been marginalized due to sexism and racism, our communities and our nation are healthier and stronger.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Through our free and confidential legal helpline, we provide advice and legal support to the most vulnerable workers. People call us when they need resources to advocate for their workplace rights, a free lawyer to help them get their job back after taking sick time, or when they have been illegally forced off the job after announcing their pregnancy. We support legislators and advocates across the nation—from Oregon to Tennessee, from Wisconsin to Washington, DC. We research, draft, and testify in support of bills that will help working people care for themselves and their loved ones without risking their paychecks. If you would like to contact our helpline, please call 1-833-NEED-ABB (1-833-633-3222) or fill out our helpline form.
