alt text Black women experience one of the largest and most persistent wage gaps in the country due to both racial and gender discrimination. The impact compounds over a lifetime and limits wealth, homeownership, and retirement security. Closing this gap requires confronting systemic inequities and ensuring equal opportunity at every stage of employment.

Black women make 65 cents for every dollar paid to white men. That gap costs them nearly $25,000 a year in stolen wages, and it's part of why Black women hold 90% less wealth than white men, despite 69% of Black mothers being the breadwinners for their families. The wage gap isn't inevitable. It's the result of policy choices, and it can be fixed with policy solutions.

The EEOC has proposed to rescind EEO-1, a long-standing data collection tool used to address workplace discrimination. 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 because enforcement gets weaker and accountability disappears. @USEEOC Do not rescind the EEO-1. Keep this data collection in place! #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

The EEOC plans to scrap EEO-1, a data tool used for 60 years to fight workplace inequality. This data helps enforce civil rights laws, aids employers in staying compliant, and brings transparency to discrimination. Removing it doesn't end bias; it just hides it by weakening enforcement and killing accountability. @USEEOC keep this vital data in place! #BlackWomensEqualPayDay
