Yesterday was Latina Equal Pay Day, a stark reminder of the wage gap that Latinas across the U.S. face every day—they have to work an extra 341 days to earn what white men made the year before . That's almost a whole extra year!

This inequality hits Latina domestic workers especially hard. These are the nannies, housecleaners, and caregivers who provide essential support to our families and homes . Yet, they often earn poverty wages and lack basic protections .

Think about it: the women who care for our children, clean our homes, and look after our loved ones, who do the work that ensures our lives run smoothly, are being drastically underpaid simply because they are Latinas. According to UnidosUS, Latinas working full-time earn only 58 cents for every dollar a white, non-Hispanic man makes [[link removed]] .

And it's not just about the paycheck. Latinas have the least access to benefits like paid family leave, sick days, and health insurance. This makes it nearly impossible for many domestic workers to take time off to care for themselves or a loved one without losing income.

Latina domestic workers deserve fair pay, respect, and dignity.

The majority of domestic workers sit at the center of some of our nation’s most decisive issues because of who they are and what they do: they are women – mostly women of color, immigrants, mothers, and low-wage workers. They are impacted by almost every policy affecting the future of our economy, democracy and country.

Domestic workers can lead us toward a new, inclusive vision for the future for all of us -- and your grassroots support is the fuel that can get us there.
