We don’t just enforce the laws — we help create them, too. With innovative reforms inspired by the real people we serve, we work to make the law stronger, better, and more just. 

Partnering with advocates and community organizations across the country, we fight for your right to a fair paycheck, a safe and equitable workplace, and schools that do the right thing when you experience harassment or assault.
