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

Since 1966, the EEOC has required many employers to report workplace demographic data on their employees each year—including things like job category, gender, and race/ethnicity. This data is a powerful tool for fighting workplace discrimination. It aids EEOC investigations by illustrating patterns of discrimination, allows employers to examine their own employment practices, and provides vital information to researchers, the press, and the public. The administration is threatening to end EEO-1 reporting, which will make it harder to find and address employment discrimination. And you can’t fix something you can’t see! #LGBTQIAEqualPay #PrideInYourPay

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

LGBTQI+ families face higher poverty and unemployment rates, and hold more debt. It’s why data on working LGBTQ folks is so necessary to close wage gaps. #LGBTQEqualPay #PrideInYourPay

EEO-1 data collections are NOT new. They have been utilized by both Democratic and Republican administrations since the 1960s to ensure workplace fairness. They are vital, non-partisan tools for accountability. We must protect them. #LGBTQEqualPay #PrideInYourPay
