Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, or in other words, the day Black women must work up to in 2021 to actually meet the amount of pay white non-Hispanic men made in 2020.

Think about that for a second: It is August 3rd, 2021, and Black women are just now catching up on the pay white men made nearly 8 months ago. That totals an extra 214 days of work.

Quite frankly, it is abhorrent that Black women are paid 63 cents to the white man’s dollar, and it’s well past time that we call for an end to this discriminatory practice. We must demand equal pay now.

On Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, I’m calling for immediate action in closing the wage gap between women of color and white men, and I urge you to join me. Sign on here to show your support for equal pay for women of color → [[link removed]]
END PAY DISCRIMINATION [[link removed]]


On a grand scale, the consequences for Black women being denied a fair wage last for generations. Over a 40-year career, Black women are out on over $900,000 of lost wages, leading to higher rates of poverty and lower measures of wealth — two lasting effects that impact the children and grandchildren of these women.

In order to make a lasting change, companies must implement updated hiring and promotion practices that are intentional towards the success of women of color. Additionally, outdated practices barring conversations amongst employees about their salaries must end, as stopping these conversations lead to increased wage discrimination.

Most importantly, though, we must value the work Black women do in our society, and we must value it monetarily. Black women deserve to be paid as much as every white man, and I won’t back down from this fight until we reach pay equity.

If you’re with me, add your name here and join me in calling for action in ending discriminatory wage practices towards Black women → [[link removed]]

Let's get to work.

Thanks,
Carolyn Maloney
