Today is Latina Equity Pay Day!

Latina Pay Equity is part of a larger effort to bring awareness to the disparity of the gender gap in pay. Why Nov 1st? Because it takes Latinas an additional 10 months to make the same income as our non-Hispanic male counterparts earn in the 12 months prior. After a decades old attempt, the Paycheck Fairness Act was reintroduced in the House and Senate in 2015, however did not pass. The disparity is real and action is needed for change to occur.

Your vote matters and we hope you will exercise your right to vote next week! For additional information on Latina Pay Equity, visit www.LatinaPayEquity.com.
