It’s that time of the year again… Legislative session has begun! There are so many important issues being addressed this year, but 9to5 is especially excited about lobbying and advocating for passage of the Family Care Act bill and for Ban the Box legislation.
Just a quick refresher:
The Family Care Act is a bill that would allow employees to use their earned sick days to care for a child, spouse, or parent.
Ban the Box is a campaign to end employment discrimination by removing discriminatory questions from employment applications.
Join us for 9to5’s Lobby Day!
When: January 29th, 2015
What time: 9am-12pm
Where: 9to5 office, 501 Pulliam St, SW

Please wear red or a 9to5 shirt!
See you under the gold dome!
