We stand together against antisemitism and violence in Chicago and throughout our nation.
ALT Statement graphic that reads: Acts of antisemitism, hate, and violence have no place in our nation. I strongly condemn the antisemitic attack resulting in the murder of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky — two Israeli embassy staff — at the Capital Jewish Museum last night in Washington, DC.

Today is #BlackWomensEqualPayDay. Black Women make 66 cents for every $1 dollar paid to non-Hispanic, white men. This must change. @WomenEmployed is committed to closing the wage gap and ensuring that Black women are paid equally for equal work.

You're protected by law if you talk to coworkers about your pay. Under both IL & U.S. law employers can't ban you from talking about pay benefits or other compensation. It can be a good way to learn if you’re paid unfairly. Learn more: equalpayillinois.org #BlackWomensEqualPay

On average, Black women working full-time are paid just 66 cents for every $1 paid to white men. This is not economic or racial justice. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay means we need pay equity.
Chicago Commission on Human Relations retweeted
You deserve #FairPay! How do I learn if I’m being paid equally? IL allows employees of certain employers to request anonymous data from @ILDeptofLabor about others in the same job classification & their pay. Learn more: equalpayillinois.org #BlackWomensEqualPayDay
Chicago Commission on Human Relations retweeted
When Black women are paid less than their white counterparts, it impacts their finances today & financial futures. An economy that supports Black women is an economy that supports us all. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay
