John, it’s time for equal pay for equal work.
Today is the 60-year anniversary of the passage of the Equal Pay Act. However, even after six decades, the gender pay gap still persists.
Women still only earn 82% of what men earn — meaning the gender pay gap has barely budged in the past 20 years.
It’s clear that the Equal Pay Act was an important first step — but it was only a first step. Now we need to take the next step and pass the Paycheck Fairness Act.
Passing the Paycheck Fairness Act through this Congress won’t be easy, but we can start by showing everyone just how much support there is for equal pay for equal work — please add your name in support of the Paycheck Fairness Act today.
Not only does the gender pay gap persist year after year and decade after decade, but it’s even worse for Black and Latinx women, who only make cents on the dollar compared to white men.
After 60 years, it’s clear that we need the Paycheck Fairness Act to close the loopholes in the original Equal Pay Act and build an economy that works for everyone.
Add your name and join the movement to guarantee equal pay for equal work by passing the Paycheck Fairness Act.
Thank you,
Pramila
