2024 was a busy and proactive year for BLL, and reflecting on what we’ve accomplished as a team has been incredible. The year was marked by bold initiatives spearheaded by our team and innovative solutions developed to improve the state of work-family justice, gender equity, and care. Our 2024 Impact and Research Report highlights some of the coolest and most impactful things BLL achieved last year while celebrating the hard work, creativity, and collaboration that made it possible. It also features testimonials from those who engaged with and were impacted or inspired by our work.

The stories we tell shape the world we live in. At a time when so many people and policymakers in the United States feel divided and when there’s so much noise in the media about what’s true, our narrative change work at the Better Life Lab is more critical than ever.

Our work transcends the politics of the moment. We are guided by our north star vision of a future where work-family justice, gender equity, and the value of care—both paid and unpaid—are not just ideals but realities. By telling the stories of Bright Spots and solutions, we help people see how we can transform public policy, workplace practice and cultural norms and inspire action.

Because when families and caregivers thrive, we all benefit—strengthening our communities, our economy, and our shared humanity.

We're excited to continue sharing meaningful stories in the new year.
