A Better Balance

Transforming the American Workplace

A Better Balance, co-founded by Dina Bakst and Sherry Leiwant, has been at the forefront of advocating for gender equality and the recognition of caregiving labor since 2005. The organization emerged from the need to address the unique challenges faced by low-wage working women, particularly women of color, who often juggle multiple roles as caregivers and breadwinners. By promoting legal and policy reforms, A Better Balance aims to create a workplace that values caregiving and supports all families.

Impacting Lives Nationwide

With a commitment to ensuring that every worker has access to essential rights, A Better Balance has successfully influenced legislation across all 50 states. The federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act has strengthened protections for pregnant workers, while over 60 million workers now enjoy the right to paid sick time. Through impact litigation and direct legal services, more than 1.5 million workers have had their rights vindicated.
