DC voters voted to pass Initiative 77 to ensure that tipped workers earn a living wage. Now, DC Councilmembers are attempting to overturn the initiative. In just a few clicks, tell your members to respect workers, respect voters, & protect Initiative 77! actnow.io/l1m64JI?p2asource=…

On average, women are paid just 80 cents for every $1 paid to male counterparts. For women of color, the #wagegap is much larger. #EqualPayDay #talkpay aflcio.org/issues/gender-equ…

How can we close the pay gap? Unionize! Union women earn $231 more than women without a union voice. #EqualPayDay #1uAAPI

It’s #EqualPayDay, but many women of color won't see their wages catch up to those of white men until as late as NOVEMBER. It is time to #TalkPay in this country & close the #WageGap for ALL women.

58 percent of Asian American women and 63 percent of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women are mothers with children under the age of 19. They need #AAPIEqualPay now.

Over her career, the typical AAPI woman loses at least $292,400 to the wage gap; in some states, the situation is much worse. #AAPIEqualPay #NotYourModelMinority

AAPI women work 2 extra months to earn what a white man earns in a year. But on #AAPIEqualPay Day, we know there is more to the story. #NotYourModelMinority
