Our federal legislative victories and how they impact you

 

The Ending Forced Arbitration for Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act

The Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, championed by our co-founders Gretchen Carlson and Julie Roginsky, is changing the game.

The EEFA, passed by both houses of Congress with overwhelming bipartisan support, was signed it into law in March 2022 by President Biden.

How? It eradicates forced arbitration in cases of sexual misconduct. That means the law gives survivors the power to take their claims to court instead of secret arbitration.

Watch the video above to learn more about this historic law and how it protects YOU.

 

The Speak Out Act

Thanks to the Speak Out Act, you are no longer bound by a pre-dispute NDA and/or non-disparagement agreement if you have experienced sexual harassment or assault at work.

 

President Biden signed the landmark legislation, championed by Lift Our Voices, in December 2022. This law gives voice to survivors, protects workers, and paves the way for a safer more transparent workplace. Watch the video to learn more and make sure to share the knowledge!

We’ve Spearheaded Laws BUT…

Companies are not required to let you know that you are no longer bound by forced arbitration clauses and NDAs if you are a survivor or a witness of sexual harassment or assault at work. We are here to help you.

“As I have personally experienced, systems that silence survivors prevent them from speaking truth to power. Those silencing systems protect predators rather than survivors and harm women, people of color, and others in every aspect of their lives.

I applaud the fight that Lift Our Voices is undertaking to dismantle those systems, give survivors back their voices, and create respectful environments for every single one of us."

Enough is enough

We’re working to get rid of the legal jargon in contracts that purposely confuses workers and protects predators - and bad behavior - in the workplace.
