Across every state, mothers are paid less than fathers. And @IWPResearch finds that Latina and Black mothers face the largest wage gaps relative to White men. Moms deserve better.

Mothers need policies that help them manage caregiving, access child care, and receive equal pay protections. #MomsEqualPayDay #MotherhoodPenalty
