John,

I got word that my colleagues reached out to you last week, where they shared some pretty shocking — if not maddening — statistics about the women’s pay gap.

Statistics about women’s wealth inequities — such as the fact that Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women getting paid 50 cents to every white man’s $1 — sound straight out of a textbook from the ’60s, so it’s maddening to hear they’re still very real today.

It’s hard to read facts like those and not want to get up and make change, so I wanted to get you involved as soon as possible [[link removed]].

The stats women and the racial wealth divide are infuriating...White women only get paid 83 cents on the dollar compared to their male counterparts. Black women get paid 64 cents for every dollar made by white men. Latinas get paid 54 cents...and Indigenous women get paid 51 cents.

Don’t underestimate the importance of calling a foul on these maddening facts, John. Our collective voice is a powerful weapon to defend against harmful stereotypes in the workplace, reluctance around disclosing unfairly disproportionate income, and complacency around fighting such a decades-long issue.

It’s easy to feel that the pay gap has been around for so long, it almost seems like it can’t be changed. Not only does Prosperity Now refuse to believe that’s true — we’re dedicated to making it no longer so year by year.

But we need you to help make it happen. Please consider making a gift of any size you can today. [[link removed]]

Together, we can fight these maddening facts. Thanks for being on our team!
