Native women earn 53 cents for every dollar a white man makes, meaning Native women work almost twice as long to earn the same pay.

This is not just a statistic—it's about real families struggling to afford food, medicine, and basic needs. Pay equity is about survival.

WorkLife Law is fired up for #HeatWeek!

Over 69 million workers are at risk from extreme heat this summer— and there's no federal rule in place to protect them.
