Hi all! Today is the 50th Anniversary of the Equal Pay Act, which was signed by President John F. Kennedy to prohibit pay discrimination based on gender.
Unfortunately, we still do have a pay gap with mothers of color facing the biggest wage penalties. But there is legislation in the pipeline to correct this.
Please join Congresswomen Donna Edwards and Rosa DeLauro, as well as Lilly Ledbetter, MomsRising.org, and the American Association of University Women to discuss this very issue at this Google Hangout. It starts RIGHT NOW at 12 ET and will take place for the next half hour. Thank you!!
