Dear Friend,

The first half of 2014 has been a very exciting time at A Better Balance. Over the past several months wehave been working hard:

Ensuring that all workers in NYC know about their new rights to Paid Sick Days and Pregnancy Accommodations,
Advancing Fairness for Pregnant Workers Across the Country, including Officer Trischler in Florence, KY,
Crafting a Right to Request Flexible Work and Predictable Scheduling,
Launching the A Better Balance Southern Office,
Fighting for LGBT Working Families,
Keeping up the Pressure for Paid Family Leave.

And we are just getting started!

A Better Balance is now on the front lines making a difference, but we need your support to keep the momentum going!

Thank you, as always, for your support.

Frankly, we were BLOWN away by your support last month. We were able to BEAT our goal of 10,000 donations to stop the Tea Party before Congress comes back to Washington.

In fact, August was one of our best months ever from online donors like you.

Democrats are fired up and are ready to help elect a Democratic majority to finally kick the Tea Party and Speaker Boehner out of control of Congress once and for all. As a special thank you, we wanted to give you a sneak peek of an ad we’re releasing tomorrow in Florida’s second congressional district.
