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

Take action and email Congress! equalrights.quorum.us

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

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

LGBTQ+ Equal Pay Day is a reminder that the wage gap doesn't happen by accident. Discrimination in hiring, promotions, and the workplace continues to undermine the economic security of LGBTQ+ people. Today, 43.4% of LGBTQ+ adults report being worse off financially than they were a year ago, compared to 30.7% of non-LGBTQ+ adults. Equal pay means little if people can't access jobs, advance in their careers, or work free from discrimination. We need workplaces where everyone has a fair chance not just to survive, but to thrive. #LGBTQEqualPayDay #EqualPay #WorkplaceEquality #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

EEO-1 data collections are NOT new. They have been utilized by both Democratic and Republican administrations since the 1960s to ensure workplace fairness. They are vital, non-partisan tools for accountability. We must protect them. #LGBTQEqualPay #PrideInYourPay
