In New York, Latinas must work until age 88 to catch up to earnings a white, non-Hispanic man would make by age 60.
We must take action to close the gender and racial wage gap!

🗣️ Our fight for equal pay is inclusive. We recognize that transgender, gender non-conforming, LGBTQIA+ BIPOC individuals, women, and immigrants often face even wider wage gaps. #PaidLeave is just one part of the comprehensive solutions we're advocating for.
