CLASP is excited to invite you to a special event marking Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day on Wednesday, September 18, 2024 ! This landmark dayrecognizes on the wage inequities faced by disabled women, especially disabled women of color, and how we can join together to make change.
Join us at 2:00 PM ET/11:00 AM PT for a social media storm📱 in partnership with Equal Pay Today, Disability Culture Lab, and many other incredible organizations. Together, we’ll amplify the call for fair pay and equal rights, using hashtags #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay and #DisabledWomensEPD.
Our focus this year will be on three major policy goals✍🏽:
1.
Passage
of
the
Transformation
to
Competitive
Integrated
Employment
Act
(TCIEA)
–
to
eliminate
segregated
workplaces
and
subminimum
wages.
2.
Passage
of
the
SSI
Savings
Penalty
Elimination
Act
–
to
end
the
public
benefit
eligibility
requirements
that
keep
disabled
women
in
poverty.
3.
Passage
of
the
HCBS
Access
Act
–
to
expand
critical
funding,
allowing
disabled
women
to
live
and
work
in
their
communities.
