This isn't us versus them: it's closing a gap so women, families, and communities can thrive together. #EqualPayDay

Imagine there was economic security: what kind of world would you build with it? That's what #EqualPayDay is about creating.

You can’t fix discrimination if you erase the data. Right now, the EEOC is considering rescinding the EEO-1, a long-standing data collection used since the 1960s to track workplace inequality. This data is crucial for the EEOC to: 📊 see potential patterns of disparities ⚖️ investigate and enforce civil rights laws 💼 have employers examine their practices 📰 produce reports on what’s actually happening in workplaces Without it, discrimination does not go away. It just becomes harder to prove and easier to ignore. Enforcement gets weaker. Accountability disappears. @USEEOC Do not rescind the EEO-1. Keep this data collection in place!

Did you know, according to 2024 Census data, the wage gap for women compared to men is 81 cents on the dollar for full-time, year-round workers. When you compare it to all earners, including full-time, year-round earners, part-time and part-year workers, the wage gap widens to 76 cents. On this #EqualPayDay, join us in urging the EEOC to not rescind the EEO-1 and related data collections!

On this #EqualPayDay, we join together to fight the White House Administration’s and Chair Andrea Lucas’ gutting of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the agency empowered to protect our employment rights. Join us in urging the EEOC to not rescind the EEO-1 and related data collections. This important data collection, which has been in place through Democratic and Republican Administrations since the 1960s, is used by the agency to inform their investigations for employment discrimination, to focus the agency’s limited resources on occupations where data suggests disparities and much more!

Women who work still make less than their male counterparts. And while we’re not surprised, we’re still calling for a solution for the working women of this country. #EqualPayDay

Women of color face the largest gaps in pay compared to men. From food, to child care, to health care – closing the wage gap is a huge step towards making things more affordable for them and their families. #EqualPayDay

Progress isn’t guaranteed — and the pay gap is proof. The latest Census data shows that women working full-time earn 81¢ for every $1 paid to white men. But women’s working lives don’t fit neatly into one box. Many women work part-time or seasonally, often because caregiving responsibilities, unpredictable schedules, or limited transportation make it harder to sustain full-time work. When we look at all working women, the reality is 76¢ to the dollar. This isn’t about one paycheck or one choice. The pay gap is a sign of pay inequity — driven by a mix of factors like women being concentrated in lower-paid jobs, caregiving penalties, pay secrecy, and discrimination. That means we need a mix of solutions, too: stronger policies, employer action, and tools that help women advocate for themselves. This Equal Pay Day, don’t just mind the gap — help close it.

It doesn’t matter the job: In 2025, women continued to be paid less than men for full-time work. This included the 20 occupations that employ the most women. For example, over 91% of full-time administrative assistants are women—but they had a 72.4% earnings ratio. #EqualPayDay

For the second year in a row, the gender earnings ratio got worse. Women made just 83.6 cents for every dollar earned by men in 2023. In 2024, it decreased to 82.7 cents. Preliminary weekly earnings data shows that in 2025, women made just 82.1 cents. #EqualPayDay

🗓️ March 26th is #EqualPay Day for some women - Black, Native, & Latina women must wait even longer for their #EqualPayDay. Racist pay disparity costs families opportunity, health, lives & much more. Time to close the gender & race pay gaps!📢
