Today on #NativeWomensEqualPayDay we spotlight the reality that Native American women working full-time year-round earn just 58 cents for every dollar earned by non-Hispanic white men. This stark pay gap is unacceptable – join us in calling for #EquityForNativeWomen.

The PWFA is the law of the land, granting workers nationwide the right to pregnancy accommodations on the job. We spoke to @statesnewsroom.com about how we're fighting to hold large corporations like Amazon accountable when they violate workers' rights. prod.cdn.everyaction.com/emails/van/S...

Today, on #LatinaEqualPay Day, we honor ten years of the campaign, but the work continues. Did you know: On average, rural Latinas are paid $12,965 compared to $30,194 for non-Hispanic white men. The gap is clear and impacts our families every day.

The Department of Labor is trying to quietly undo a major civil rights & labor victory: they want to strip wage protections for home care workers. This isn’t about cutting costs, it’s about erasing care workers & pushing us into the shadows. Tell the DoL: Care work is essential.
