Friend --

Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day.

When compared to White, non-Hispanic men, Black women earn only $.61 (cents) on the $1. This means the typical Black woman must work until August 22, 2019 to be paid what the typical White man was paid at the end of December 2018.

We demand more.

In partnership with Equal Pay Today, we are speaking out on the wage gap of Black women and making it clear we #DemandMore at work, as a consumer, and at the ballot box.

Join us today for our Twitter Storm from 2:00pm - 3:00pm ET using #BlackWomensEqualPay, #DemandMore, and #BlackWomenLead.

On this #BlackWomensEqualPayDay and at this critical time for our nation ahead of 2020, Black women nationwide—like you—are demanding more for their contributions, their dollars and their votes.

As we continue to learn more about the 2020 White House hopefuls, we must pay close attention to which candidates are willing to prioritize closing the gender pay gap within their policy platforms.

Thank you for being a part of the #BlackWomenLead movement and joining the conversation today from 2-3 p.m. ET and raise your voice to demand the respect we deserve.

Onward,

Glynda
