Dear Friend of WorkLife Law:

As we reflect on this transformative year, we see a period that tested our resilience and reaffirmed our mission in equal measure. When we stepped into our new role as Co-Directors twelve months ago, we promised to remain steadfast in fighting for a future where all people have the freedom to care for their loved ones and protect their own health without jeopardizing their economic security. That promise has never felt more urgent.
We began this year celebrating the 60th anniversary of Title VII at the Biden White House. Now we find ourselves living Project 2025—the Department of Education is being dismantled, the EEOC is being weaponized, immigrants work in fear, federal workers are being laid off in droves, and our communities are losing critical programs that support working families.
Yet through it all, we’re still fighting. We’re still standing with you, our partners, and the communities who need us most. We’re still driving change that improves lives.
In our first year as Co-Directors, WorkLife Law launched new projects with grassroots partners, created policy and legal changes that make it easier for caregivers to meet their families’ basic economic and health needs, and provided life-changing assistance to hundreds of workers and students through our free legal helpline. WorkLife Law has remained at the forefront of the national movement for work and family justice, while intensifying our focus on serving the people most at risk.
In our annual report, you’ll find a snapshot of WorkLife Law’s impact this year—victories won, partnerships forged, and lives transformed. We invite you to dive deeper into our work and discover how together we’re building a more just future for working families.
