Economic Justice

Advancing fairness, dignity, and opportunity in the workplace and beyond.

The Chance to Live, Work, and Thrive with Dignity

Working families and low-wage workers in Virginia often lack adequate wages, paid time to care for themselves or sick family members, and other essential workplace protections. Many working parents also lack access to affordable and quality child care, which can prevent them from being able to work, and can negatively impact the early education of their children. By addressing systemic barriers and advocating for just policies, we can create a stronger, more equitable Virginia.
