Policy Wins

 

In Milwaukee, WI, the Multi-State Working Families Consortium succeeded in placing a paid sick days initiative on the ballot in 2008 -- and won. In the same year, they secured passage of paid family leave in New Jersey and paid sick days in Washington, DC.

 

In 2008, Colorado Organization for Latina Opportunity and Reproductive Rights played a key role in defeating anti-affirmative action and fetal-personhood ballot initiatives by crafting messages for Latina/o voters and connecting with labor and racial justice groups to build more power to ignite change.
