9to5, National Association of Working Women (9to5) is a national, grassroots membership organization that strengthens women's ability to work for economic justice. Founded in 1973, 9to5 has activists in more than 200 cities and members in every state. 9to5 is committed to:
- Winning family-friendly policies to help working people balance responsibilities at home and on the job.
- Making nonstandard jobs voluntary and equitable so that those who work part-time or as temps receive fair pay and benefits.
- Eliminating workplace discrimination through educating about legal rights on the job, monitoring enforcement agencies, and expanding anti-discrimination laws.
- Opposing punitive welfare policies and backing those that allow women to be self sufficient while supporting their families.
Dream Fund Project
9to5, in partnership with the Colorado Progressive Coalition, is being funded to support the Colorado Affirmative Action Base and Infrastructure Building Project. 9to5 and Colorado Progressive Coalition are core partners of Colorado Unity, a coalition formed in 1995 and 1996 in response to efforts to put an anti-affirmative action measure on Colorado's ballot. Colorado Unity is a non-partisan coalition of community, civil rights, women's, business, labor, faith and student organizations which has successfully defeated every anti-affirmative action proposal in Colorado's state legislature since 1996. Colorado Unity is now implementing a statewide educational campaign to reach all Coloradans about the importance of a diverse society and equal opportunity for all in their state.
As a core partner in Colorado Unity, 9to5 is receiving funding to support the Colorado Affirmative Action Base and Infrastructure Building Project by working in three main areas: 1) Base Building, 2) Building a Statewide Affirmative Action Infrastructure in Colorado and 3) Promoting Collaboration and Building Public Support for Affirmative Action.
