Equal Pay Days

Upcoming Equal Pay Day

Equal Pay Day

Equal Pay Day is March 26, 2026

Women are still paid less than men for the same work — and the gap is even wider for women of color, mothers, disabled women, and LGBTQIA+ workers. Pay equity isn’t just about fairness; it’s about economic security for families and communities.

Join over 50+ organizations on Equal Pay day and advocate to close the wage gap with stronger laws, enforcement, and accountability.

  • AANHPI Women’s Equal Pay Day

    AANHPI Equal Pay Day is April 9, 2026

    Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women face a wide and often hidden wage gap that is masked by stereotypes and incomplete data. Within this diverse community, many groups experience severe pay inequities that go overlooked. Closing this gap requires better data, stronger protections, and policies that reflect the realities AANHPI women face at work.

  • Black Women’s Equal Pay Day

    Black Women’s Equal Pay Day is July 21, 2026

    Black women experience one of the largest and most persistent wage gaps in the country due to both racial and gender discrimination. The impact compounds over a lifetime and limits wealth, homeownership, and retirement security. Closing this gap requires confronting systemic inequities and ensuring equal opportunity at every stage of employment.

  • LGBTQIA+ Equal Pay Awareness Day

    LGBTQIA+ Equal Pay Day is June 17, 2026

    LGBTQIA+ workers face wage disparities driven by discrimination, bias, and gaps in legal protections. For transgender people and LGBTQIA+ people of color, the inequities are even more severe. Many workers still lack basic workplace protections or reliable wage data. Pay equity requires inclusive policies, enforcement, and workplaces where everyone can thrive openly.

  • Moms’ Equal Pay Day

    Moms’ Equal Pay Day is August 6, 2026

    Motherhood should not come with a lifetime pay cut. Moms, especially single mothers and mothers of color, face discrimination, lack of paid leave, and workplace policies that penalize caregiving. These barriers reduce earnings, retirement savings, and economic stability for entire families. Supporting moms means strengthening workplace protections and investing in care.

  • Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Women’s Equal Pay Day

    NHPI Women’s Equal Pay Day is September 15, 2026

    Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women are too often left out of wage gap conversations because of limited data and aggregation with other groups. Yet many NHPI communities face significant pay disparities and economic barriers. Visibility matters, and so do policies that address the unique needs of NHPI women and families.

  • Latina Equal Pay Day

    Latina Equal Pay Day is October 8, 2026

    Latinas face one of the widest wage gaps and earn far less than white, non-Hispanic men over a lifetime. This gap limits opportunities, increases poverty risk, and affects generations. Pay equity for Latinas means stronger labor protections, fair wages, access to benefits, and pathways to economic mobility.

  • Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day

    Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day is October 20, 2026

    Disabled women encounter steep wage gaps, higher unemployment, workplace barriers, and policies that limit earning potential. Discrimination and lack of accessibility continue to shut many out of equitable employment. True pay equity means dismantling these barriers and ensuring disabled women can work, earn, and live with dignity.

  • Native Women’s Equal Pay Day

    Native Women’s Equal Pay Day is November 19, 2026

    Native women face some of the most severe wage disparities in the nation due to systemic inequities, geographic barriers, and underinvestment in Tribal communities. The consequences ripple across families and generations. Closing this gap requires honoring Tribal sovereignty and investing in economic justice for Native women.
