Dear Friend,

We’re all feeling it — the weight of the COVID-19 pandemic and what it
means for our loved ones and our collective future, and we cannot ignore
the many ways in which the coronavirus crisis is a gendered one,
especially today on Equal Pay Day – which marks how far into 2020 women
must work to catch up to what men were paid last year.

The virus is already greatly impacting women and moms’ financial security,
and this is disproportionately the case for low-income women of color, who
are overrepresented in many essential frontline jobs and industries
experiencing massive layoffs.

>>> This Equal Pay Day, we must rally around the women and moms in our
communities who are most impacted by the COVID-10 pandemic.

you to quickly and easily raise awareness about how the coronavirus
pandemic is most impacting women who are already facing pay inequity and
poverty to help stop unfair pay.

Pay inequity and the thousands of dollars that women lose each year to the
wage gap (an average of over $10,000 annually!) have left women, moms, and
their families dangerously vulnerable to the economic shock of the
coronavirus pandemic. [1]

It is no coincidence that the commonsense policies necessary for curbing
COVID-19 outbreaks and keeping families financially secure right now –
like paid sick days and paid family/medical leave – also help close the
gender wage gap. [2]

raise awareness about what women and families need from lawmakers to
weather the coronavirus storm and build long term economic security?

Together, we are a powerful force for women and families.
