Our Vision
First Shift Justice Project is working to bring about a shift in workplace culture that values not only paid employment but also the work of family caregiving. As a parent, you shouldn’t have to choose between holding a job and holding a baby.
Empower
We empower workers to exercise their workplace rights, and we represent clients whose rights have been violated.
Educate
Through partnerships with medical clinics and nonprofits, we educate health care providers about the legal rights of caregivers in the workplace so they can better support their patients at work.
Advocate
We collaborate with policy advocates to give voice to the specific problems faced by workers in low-wage jobs who are trapped between the demands of work and family.
