🗣️ In a year of relentless anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation, let's stand firm against wage inequality, discrimination, and poverty that contribute to the #WageGap for #LGBTQ workers.

Today, on #LGBTQIAEqualPay Awareness Day, we're calling on Congress to pass the BE HEARD in the Workplace Act, which would strengthen federal anti-discrimination law for all & make clear once and for all: discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity is illegal. No more loopholes or rollbacks. Every worker deserves protection. Email Congress at the link below to show your support. #PrideInYourPay #LGBTQIAequalpay #BeHEARD
Take action and email Congress! equalrights.quorum.us

The BE HEARD in the Workplace Act would strengthen federal protections against workplace harassment and discrimination, and would make it clear that discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity is against the law. BE HEARD will help LGBTQIA+ workers access equal opportunity and fair pay. That’s especially important now, when the EEOC’s enforcement and protection of ALL workers has been weakened and weaponized. #LGBTQIAEqualPay #PrideInYourPay #BeHEARD

LGBTQIA+ individuals deserve more than just survival, they deserve equity, safe working conditions and dignified pay. From the fight for the 8-hour workday, work breaks, and the weekend, the labor movement has proven that when workers organize and stick together, they win. At a time when anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation is advancing across the country and the EEOC rolls back critical protections, unions remain the trusted place where working people can stand together, demand dignity, and protect each other on the job. An injury to one is an injury to all. Equal pay. Equal rights. Labor rights! 🏳️‍🌈✊🏼🏳️‍⚧️ #PrideInYourPay#LGBTQIAEqualPayDay #WorkersRights #UnionStrong #SolidarityForever

On LGBTQ+ Equal Pay Day, let's be clear: economic justice is LGBTQ+ justice. When discrimination follows you into the workplace, it affects every part of your life—from whether you can pay your bills to whether you can build a future. More than one-third (35.9%) of LGBTQ+ adults say recent policy changes have made it harder to find a job, while too many continue to face barriers simply because of who they are. Equal work deserves equal pay. Equal talent deserves equal opportunity. And every LGBTQ+ person deserves the dignity of economic security. #LGBTQEqualPayDay #EconomicJustice #LGBTQEquality #PrideInYourPay

Nuestros Hermanes LGBTQIA+ merecen mas que solo sobrevivir, merecen equidad, condiciones de trabajo seguras, y un salario digno. Desde la lucha por el dia laboral de 8 horas, los descansos en el trabajo y el fin de semana, el movimiento sindical ha demostrado que cuando los trabajadores se organizan y permanecen unidos, ganan. En un momento en que avanzan leyes anti-LGBTQIA+ en todo el país y se debilitan protecciones fundamentales para las personas trabajadoras, los sindicatos siguen siendo el lugar de confianza donde la clase trabajadora puede unirse, exigir dignidad y protegerse mutuamente en el trabajo. Un ataque contra uno es un ataque contra todos. Pago Justo. Derechos laborales! 🏳️‍🌈✊🏼🏳️‍⚧️ #LGBTQIAEqualPayDay #WorkersRights #UnionStrong #SolidarityForever

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) workers continue to face significant pay inequities driven by discrimination. Pay equity is a right, not a privilege. The lack of pay data on sexual orientation and gender identity makes it harder to identify and address pay gaps. Now, a federal agency wants to stop collecting basic data. We can’t fix what we can’t see. On this LGBTQIA+ Equal Pay Awareness Day, we urge you to stand up for workplace equity by joining AAUW’s Action Network. #PrideInYourPay #LGBTQEqualPay

The fight for pay equity is everyone’s fight. With rising costs and an administration determined to destroy workplace protections, the affordability crisis is hitting everyone, especially LGBTQIA+ households. We must protect workers’ rights and improve wages. #LGBTQIAEqualPayDay #PrideInYourPay
