Today, on #LGBTQIAEqualPay Awareness Day, we're calling on Congress to pass the BE HEARD in the Workplace Act, which would strengthen federal anti-discrimination law for all & make clear once and for all: discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity is illegal. No more loopholes or rollbacks. Every worker deserves protection. Email Congress at the link below to show your support. #PrideInYourPay #LGBTQIAequalpay #BeHEARD

We can’t say it enough: SOGI data is important for understanding economic disparities for the LGBTQ+ community. This data gives us helpful insights compared with other individuals, and for economic disparities within the community. #LGBTQEqualPay #PrideInYourPay

The fight for pay equity is everyone’s fight. With rising costs and an administration determined to destroy workplace protections, the affordability crisis is hitting everyone, especially LGBTQIA+ households. We must protect workers’ rights and improve wages. #LGBTQIAEqualPayDay #PrideInYourPay

The EEOC has proposed to rescind EEO-1, a long-standing data collection used for 60 years to track workplace inequality. This data is crucial for: ⚖️ the EEOC to investigate and enforce civil rights laws 💼  employers to examine their practices & ensure legal compliance 📰 increased transparency & public awareness about workplace discrimination Without it, discrimination does not go away. It just becomes harder to identify and easier to ignore. Enforcement gets weaker. Accountability disappears. @USEEOC Do not rescind the EEO-1. Keep this data collection in place!

LGBTQI+ families face higher poverty and unemployment rates, and hold more debt. It’s why data on working LGBTQ folks is so necessary to close wage gaps. #LGBTQEqualPay #PrideInYourPay

On LGBTQ+ Equal Pay Day, let's be clear: economic justice is LGBTQ+ justice. When discrimination follows you into the workplace, it affects every part of your life—from whether you can pay your bills to whether you can build a future. More than one-third (35.9%) of LGBTQ+ adults say recent policy changes have made it harder to find a job, while too many continue to face barriers simply because of who they are. Equal work deserves equal pay. Equal talent deserves equal opportunity. And every LGBTQ+ person deserves the dignity of economic security. #LGBTQEqualPayDay #EconomicJustice #LGBTQEquality #PrideInYourPay

Since 1966, the EEOC has required many employers to report workplace demographic data on their employees each year—including things like job category, gender, and race/ethnicity. This data is a powerful tool for fighting workplace discrimination. It aids EEOC investigations by illustrating patterns of discrimination, allows employers to examine their own employment practices, and provides vital information to researchers, the press, and the public. The administration is threatening to end EEO-1 reporting, which will make it harder to find and address employment discrimination. And you can’t fix something you can’t see! #LGBTQIAEqualPay #PrideInYourPay
