61 years after passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Black women still earn $0.66 on average for every dollar white men earn.
Black Women's Equal Pay Day is a stark reminder of this persistent gap.
We must pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and provide economic opportunity to all.

Tonight my thoughts are with the families of those who lost loved ones fighting fascism to preserve our democracy, little knowing that history would repeat itself on American soil at the behest of a demented felon and co-conspiring Republican party.
