First Shift Justice Project’s first initiative is to empower and support pregnant women and new parents.

We go to the places where women are already seeking prenatal care and provide them with the information and assistance they need to assert their workplace rights, including: the right to paid and unpaid job-protected leave; the right to paid sick days; the right to be free from discrimination and harassment on the basis of gender, pregnancy or family responsibilities; the right to reasonable accommodations; and the right to breastfeed.
