Equal Pay Days
Equal Pay Days shine a light on the wage gaps women face and the communities hit hardest by them. Each day is led by Equal Pay Today partners who know their communities best, and each tells a different part of the story.
What we know: the gap grows even wider for women of color, disabled women, and moms, but these gaps are not accidents. They come from pay discrimination, the undervaluing of jobs that women hold, a lack of support for caregivers in the ever increasing affordability crisis, and loopholes in our equal pay laws that continue to keep women beholden to unequal pay.
Since 2013, Equal Pay Today has brought national and state partners together to mark these days and fight for policies that close the gap for everyone. Explore each day below and take action for fair pay.
