John,

Let’s have an honest conversation — in 2025, women are still getting paid less than our white male counterparts for the same work. That’s not just unfair — it’s expensive. Over a lifetime, those lost wages add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars missing from our pockets, our families, and our communities.

On average, a woman in the U.S. has to work until today — March 25th — just to earn what a white man was paid in 2024. And the gap is even worse for women of color:

💲 Latina and Native women earn just 58 cents for every dollar a white man makes.

💲 Black women earn only 66 cents.

💲 White women are still underpaid at 80 cents.

💲 Asian American women earn 94 cents.

The overall average? Women make just 82 cents to a man’s dollar. Equal work should mean equal pay. Period. 

But here’s the thing — our paychecks are on the ballot. 

The leaders we elect will shape policies on minimum wage, pay transparency, paid leave, and workplace protections — issues that directly impact our futures. With over 100,000 local elections this year, the stakes couldn’t be higher. If we want to close the pay gap, we have to show up and vote.

This Women’s History Month, let’s do more than celebrate — let’s take action. It’s time to demand what we’re owed. Step one: Check your voter registration and make sure you’re ready to vote.
