Economic Justice

The Ms. Foundation for Women invests in organizing for just economic policies that promote the well-being and security of women, families and communities. With Ms. Foundation strategic support, our grantees are advancing the solutions of those most affected by economic injustice to address a range of issues including worker rights and access to quality, living-wage jobs, affordable child care, paid sick leave, job training and other critical policies and programs necessary for women to achieve economic security and strengthen our national economy overall.

In the wake of today’s global economic crisis, the Ms. Foundation is delivering grants to groups on the ground to support the just implementation of economic recovery legislation in areas such as unemployment insurance and child care subsidies. We’re also working with our partners to promote women’s access to higher wages and greater economic security in emerging industries like green jobs.
