9to5 Winning Justice for Working Women

About 9to5 Winning Justice for Working Women

9to5 Winning Justice for Working Women is one of the largest, most respected national membership organizations of working women in the U.S., dedicated to putting working women’s issues on the public agenda.

We’ve grown from our Boston roots into a national organization with members all over the country. We’re mostly women, many of us working two jobs or more to make ends meet for our families.

By working together we’ve made things a lot better for women and working families. We’ve worked for and won major national policies including:

the 1978 Pregnancy Discrimination Act
the Civil Rights Act of 1991
the Family Medical Leave Act
the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act
These victories are a good start, but we’ve got more work to do. There are still too many hardworking Americans who live paycheck to paycheck, straining to support their families.

Reviews

9to5 Community Internship Program

July 2020 - September 2020 Milwaukee, WI
“There was a really wonderful sense of community and togetherness between members of the internship. The way the internship was structured the program did a really good job of integrating learning into the internship role. The Internship definitely expanded resources I had access to and was aware of. It gave me opportunities to sit in on meetings and other webinars I would not have known about or had access to before. I feel like I really produced a professional final product higher-level that I've ever had the opportunity to do on any of my school work. I'm really proud of the project I worked on and it certainly gave me skills for producing other professional documents as well. ”
