For over 15 years, EOI has fought for an economy that works – for everyone. In 2014, we saw our signature Pay It Forward higher education legislation introduced in 25 states, passed a statewide paid sick leave bill in the State House of Representatives for the first time and launched a new women’s economic security agenda.
