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

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) workers continue to face significant pay inequities driven by discrimination. Pay equity is a right, not a privilege. The lack of pay data on sexual orientation and gender identity makes it harder to identify and address pay gaps. Now, a federal agency wants to stop collecting basic data. We can’t fix what we can’t see. On this LGBTQIA+ Equal Pay Awareness Day, we urge you to stand up for workplace equity by joining AAUW’s Action Network. #PrideInYourPay #LGBTQEqualPay

The BE HEARD in the Workplace Act would strengthen federal protections against workplace harassment and discrimination, and would make it clear that discrimination based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity is against the law. BE HEARD will help LGBTQIA+ workers access equal opportunity and fair pay. That’s especially important now, when the EEOC’s enforcement and protection of ALL workers has been weakened and weaponized. #LGBTQIAEqualPay #PrideInYourPay #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

Today is #LGBTQIAEqualPay Day. We know that LGBTQI+ households are facing a serious wage gap, with losses adding up to thousands of dollars a year. #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!

LGBTQIA+ individuals deserve more than just survival, they deserve equity, safe working conditions and dignified pay. From the fight for the 8-hour workday, work breaks, and the weekend, the labor movement has proven that when workers organize and stick together, they win. At a time when anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation is advancing across the country and the EEOC rolls back critical protections, unions remain the trusted place where working people can stand together, demand dignity, and protect each other on the job. An injury to one is an injury to all. Equal pay. Equal rights. Labor rights! 🏳️‍🌈✊🏼🏳️‍⚧️ #PrideInYourPay#LGBTQIAEqualPayDay #WorkersRights #UnionStrong #SolidarityForever
