A Better Balance Community Advocates are pushing for change to make sure this country’s laws meet the needs of all working families. Community Advocates speak out about mistreatment they’ve faced in the workplace due to a need to care for themselves or their loved ones, call attention to the need for supportive work-family policies, and educate their communities about existing laws so they feel empowered to exercise their rights in the workplace. People in power have to hear from powerful advocates who have experienced these problems in their lives, so that those individuals can shape the solutions that will truly work for their families and communities. There’s no time to waste.
