#LatinaEqualPayDay isn’t just a reminder of today’s wage gap—it’s a warning for the future. At the current pace, Latinas won’t reach pay equity with White men until 2160 for full-time, year-round workers—and not until 2178 for all Latinas with earnings.

The time for change is now! #EqualPayDay

It's Black Women's Equal Pay Day! The #WageGap robs Black women of economic security. If the wage gap closed for just one year, Black women could afford 27 months of food, 23 months of child care, or 12 months of mortgage payments.
