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!

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!
