NEW YORK, March 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 5WPR, one of the largest independently owned PR firms in the U.S., announced today that its Impact team, an employee-driven initiative offering pro bono services and promoting volunteerism for staff-nominated causes, has partnered with Legal Momentum, the country's first and longest serving legal advocacy organization dedicated to women's rights. For over 50 years, Legal Momentum has employed a three-strategy approach—using impact litigation, policy advocacy and educational initiatives—to strengthen gender equality.

As part of the partnership, 5W will be working alongside Legal Momentum to promote the organization's ongoing initiatives to make compelling contributions to the rights and opportunities available to women. These efforts are centered around the cause of gender equality including fairness in the courts, violence against women and girls, workplace equality and economic empowerment, equal education opportunities and reproductive justice.

"We are pleased to continue 5W Impact's efforts with another impressive nonprofit working on causes many of our teams care deeply about," said 5WPR Co-CEO Matthew Caiola. "Legal Momentum is a profoundly moving organization with groundbreaking work focused on ensuring economic and personal security for women nationwide and we look forward to supporting them on their current initiatives."

"We have been dedicated to empowering women and advocating for gender equality for more than 50 years," said Carol Baldwin Moody, President and CEO of Legal Momentum. "We are grateful to be partnering with the 5W Impact Team this quarter to promote all of the meaningful work our organization does to support women across the country."
