Business Resources: Safe@Work Coalition's Small Business Initiative and Workplace Initiative Brochures

Legal Momentum is a member of the Safe@Work Coalition, a coalition of employers, unions and advocates. Safe@Work Coalition has developed brochures that introduce easy low-cost and no-cost strategies businesses can use to support employees who are victims of domestic violence and help keep workplaces safe.


Safe@Work has also developed inserts for the brochures that discuss relevant laws in New York City and New York State.

If you are using the brochures outside New York, you may wish to develop inserts summarizing relevant laws for your area. For more information about relevant laws in other states, see our State Law Guides. For more information about relevant federal laws, see The Impact of Violence in the Lives of Working Women: Creating Solutions, Creating Change

We also have a limited quantity of printed copies of the brochures available for distribution. If you would like to receive brochures for distribution, please contact us with your request at 212-925-6635 or peo@legalmomentum.org.
