Join the social media storm 11am PT/2pm ET
Welcome to the fight for equal pay!
According to 2022 Census data, the wage gap for women compared to men is 84 cents on the dollar for full-time, year-round workers. When you look at all earners, including full-time, year-round earners + part-time and part-year workers, the wage gap widens to 78 cents. These wage gaps are unacceptable. Women continue to be are underpaid and undervalued. Help us raise awareness about the wage gap and its impact on women and their families by sharing our posts to your social networks.

The #WageGap robs women of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars over the course of a lifetime. This is life changing money that would help lift women & families out of poverty; help women save more for retirement; help women start small businesses; & boost our economy. #EqualPayDay
It's time to close the gender pay gap! On #EqualPayDay - Tuesday, March 12, join the national social media storm at 11am PT/2pm ET to demand #EqualPay for women in all occupations.
How it feels to be a woman making 78-84 cents for every $1 a man makes.
#EqualPayDay
The #WageGap contributes to the long-term economic insecurity of women and families. By earning only 84 cents for every $1 a man makes, full-time, year-round working women lose up to $400k over the course of their careers. We need #EqualPay now!
Many women piece together part-time, seasonal, and gig work to make ends meet. Factoring in these jobs and full-time work, the average woman is paid 77 cents per $1 paid to the average man. Women don’t work 77% as hard as men. We demand 100% of the pay ...

The pay disparity between Latina workers and white male workers is the largest, revealing them as the lowest-paid demographic in the U.S. #EqualPayDay channels the call to push back against these inequities, ensuring that Latinas are paid their fair and well-earned share.
Pay discrimination = money, time, and hard work being stolen based on our gender and/or race.

As women’s earnings increase, violence against women decreases. Therefore, it's CRUCIAL for the gender wage gap to close in order to reduce the number of women facing domestic abuse.

Inequity against women in the workplace often begins with pregnancy discrimination and being pushed off the job for needing accommodations. This #EqualPayDay, the federal Pregnant Workers Fairness Act & the PUMP Act are making a world of difference for countless working moms.
On #EqualPayDay, let's remember that the gender wage gap isn't just a statistic—it's a barrier to economic independence, impacting women's ability to leave abusive situations.

What drives the persistent #WageGap? Gender and racial discrimination, workplace harassment, job segregation and a lack of workplace policies that support family caregiving.

Women, overall, who work full-time, year round are only paid 84¢ for every $1 paid to white men. But for moms and women of color the gap is even worse. We demand equal pay today and every day for all women! #EqualPayDay
La diferencia salarial entre las trabajadoras latinas y los trabajadores blancos es amplia, dejando a las trabajadoras latinas como el grupo demográfico peor pagado en los EE. UU. #DiaDeIgualdadSalarial nos ayuda a llamar a luchar contra estas desigualdades, garantizando que las latinas reciban una paga justa y bien merecida.
