About 9to5: For over five decades, 9to5 has been advancing economic justice for women, grounding our work through a racial and gender justice lens. As a grassroots, membership-based organization, our members have prioritized the issues we work on every day: low-wage jobs, the erosion of a social safety net, the lack of paid sick time and paid family leave, unemployment, and workplace discrimination. Our programs include grassroots organizing, leadership development, and training, nonpartisan civic engagement, and policy change campaigns. We are most active in Colorado, Georgia, and Wisconsin, but also have national impact.

About 9to5 Action Fund: 9to5 Action Fund aims to build power to achieve economic justice by engaging directly impacted women and non-binary people of color to improve their working and living conditions. We believe that an economically and racially just world is possible- one where poverty and discrimination have been eliminated, the contributions of women and non-binary people are recognized and valued, and all women and non-binary people and their families thrive.
