That “women make 79¢ to every man’s dollar” statistic isn’t accurate for all women. Black women continue to make just 60¢ for every dollar. We must demand that Black women — and all women — are paid fairly.

Our daughters should get paid the same as our sons for doing the same work. Period. Today, we're taking new steps to advance equal pay for women.
Fox News says the wage gap isn't a problem. Tell that to all of the women still making less than their male coworkers for doing the same work. Equal pay now!

Today is Equal Pay Day: the day when women, on average, catch up to what men earned for the same work in the previous year. For women of color, the pay gap is even wider.
Women are the primary breadwinners in more than 40% of households with children. And the gender gap affects trans* people, too. Eliminating the pay gap and ensuring all people make 100% of the wages they earn isn’t just a women’s issue — it’s critical for all of us.
It’s 2015. It’s time to close the gap.
