About Workingfamilies

Workingfamilies is a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for policies and initiatives that support working families across the United States. Operating in the social advocacy and policy reform sector, the organization focuses on addressing issues such as economic security, healthcare access, and work-life balance. Founded in 2009, Workingfamilies emerged from a coalition of community leaders and activists seeking to amplify the voices of everyday Americans in the political process. Their mission is rooted in the belief that systemic change is necessary to ensure fair opportunities and protections for all working families. The organization offers a range of services, including grassroots organizing, voter mobilization, and policy research, all aimed at influencing legislative outcomes at local, state, and federal levels. Key features of their work include targeted campaigns, coalition-building with labor unions and community groups, and educational resources for constituents. Workingfamilies primarily targets low- and middle-income families, as well as marginalized communities, who often face systemic barriers. Their approach combines direct advocacy with public awareness efforts to foster a broader movement for equitable policies. Workingfamilies has achieved notable milestones, including successful advocacy for paid family leave laws and increased minimum wage policies in several states. Their market position is strengthened by a strong network of volunteers and supporters, as well as partnerships with influential labor and civil rights organizations. What sets Workingfamilies apart is their data-driven, community-centered strategy, which ensures that their advocacy is both impactful and responsive to the needs of the families they serve.
