LIFT OUR VOICES RESEARCH

Lift Our Voices has partnered with academic institutions and research firms to understand how silencing mechanisms impact workers and the workplace.

  • The EFAA is giving justice to survivors for the first time in decades – giving them access to the courtroom instead of forcing them into a secret chamber.

    The Findings

  • New Jersey’s NDA ban did not impact survivors’ ability to settle or the amount of settlement.

    The Findings

  • The vast majority of older workers oppose forced arbitration to resolve workplace age discrimination complaints.

    The Findings
