First Shift Justice Project operates in the legal services sector with a focus on supporting low-income pregnant women and parents in asserting workplace rights to protect economic security and family health. The organization aims to foster a workplace culture that recognizes the importance of family caregiving alongside paid employment, helping working parents address work/family conflicts before job loss or deteriorating health occurs. By educating and assisting this population, First Shift seeks to empower clients to maintain employment and well-being, contributing to broader conversations about respectful, productive discussions around caregiving in the workplace. Based in Washington, DC, the nonprofit is a small team that partners with other organizations to extend its reach and impact. Recent collaborations include partnerships with Social Cascade, LLC and DC-based advocacy groups to offer training and support related to paid family leave and workplace rights for pregnant and caregiving workers.
