John, imagine working a nine to five job, only to have your boss tell you at 2:40 p.m. that you'd be working for the rest of the day without pay.
Or imagine if, because of your gender, you'd have to work 15 months to earn the same wages a man makes in only 12.
The truth is that women don't have the luxury of just *imagining* any of this. This is our reality. And on Equal Pay Day, we're calling for this injustice to end.
Our grassroots movement was born out of resistance to the Trump administration and its unjust, anti-woman policies — and together, Women's Marchers fought and WON by kicking Trump out of office, flipping the Senate, and securing so many other progressive victories for women. But the gender pay gap existed long before the Trump era and, as we are painfully aware today, it still persists after. And it especially hurts Black, brown, and indigenous women. These are the kinds of unjust, unequal, and altogether backwards policies that Women's March is proud to fight against on the front lines as we begin this new administration.
Organizing for women, our rights, and our allies was never meant to be a four-year job. Our fight persists today, on Equal Pay Day, and onward until we secure economic, racial, gender, and environmental justice for all. Our organizing work can only continue thanks to grassroots donations, so if you're committed to supporting our movement for the fights to come, we're asking for your help:
Every year, Equal Pay Day symbolizes how far into the year that woman, on average, must work to earn as much as a man earned in the previous year. But this disparity is even more dire for Black, brown, and indigenous women. We at Women's March are committed to ending the gender pay gap for ALL women.
Trump may no longer be president, but our work is so, so far from over. Just last week, 172 Republicans voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act.
Thanks to Trump's seditionist, anti-woman allies in Congress and his enablers in the media like Fox News, we still have our work cut out for us. So, if you can afford to, please contribute $3 to Women's March to fund our programs and organizing work so we can continue mobilizing for economic, racial, gender, and environmental justice for all.
Thank you for being a key part of this movement. None of this would be possible without supporters like you.
Women's March
P.S. Our mass movement of women and allies across the country is committed to ending unjust, backwards policies like the gender pay gap — but we can't fund that work without grassroots support. The vast majority of our donations come in through emails like this one, so please chip in $3 or anything you can today, in honor of Equal Pay Day, so we can continue our fight for women.
