Everyone deserves to care for themselves and the people they love—without sacrificing their paycheck.

A Better Balance promotes justice in the workplace, especially for women, caregivers, and people with health needs of their own. We work across every level of government to pass and enforce policies that combat poverty, advance racial and gender equity, and protect workers’ ability to care for themselves, their children, and their loved ones.
