Our Impact
Mission
The Center for WorkLife Law is a national advocacy and research organization that advances gender and racial equity by strengthening legal rights for pregnant people and family caregivers. Our work seeks to ensure all people have the freedom to build and maintain economic security through employment and educational opportunities, without having to sacrifice their health or their loved ones’ care.
Model of Change
As an advocacy and research center affiliated with the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco, WorkLife Law uses three strategies to advance its mission: 1) promoting structural policy change at the state and national levels through innovative research, thought leadership, and grassroots partnerships; 2) offering direct assistance to workers and students facing discrimination; and 3) providing technical support to litigators and public agencies to expand legal rights for pregnant, postpartum, and caregiving students and workers.
