Friend,

Earlier this month, the U.S. recognized Equal Pay Day — when women symbolically “catch up” to men’s average earnings from the previous year.

On average, women still only make 80 cents for every dollar their male counterparts earn. This number is even lower for women of color. We are far past due for a change.

Washington is leading the way on this issue — we expanded our existing equal pay legislation last year to include a ban on salary history, and to require disclosure of salary ranges. It’s beyond time for the rest of the nation to follow suit by passing equal pay legislation at the federal level. Sign on if you agree >>

It’s more than just a paycheck. As the gender pay gap persists, with even wider gaps for women of color and transgender women, the economic security of millions of women and their families is at risk.

Progress has been made in Washington, but there’s more work to do in our home state and across the nation.

Thank you for adding your name and taking a stand.
