Did you know? The already stark #GenderPayGap is further compounded by the #RacialWageGap - meaning that women of color must work much longer into 2024 to earn what a white, non-Hispanic man earned in 2023. Why? Long legacies of deeply entrenched gender and racial discrimination. Help us break down systemic barriers by registering and voting in the upcoming general election.
