Blog for Fair Pay Day

Women in the United States are still paid only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men.

And for women of color, the numbers are even worse. African-American women earn 63 cents and Latinas earn 52 cents for every dollar paid to white men.*

It’s time to take action.

A bill awaiting a vote in Congress would help women fight for fair pay.

Raise your voice in support! Sign up to post to your blog about the importance of fair pay for women. Please also ask your readers to urge to their Senators to support the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

You can also download a graphic for your post and learn more about the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

We hope you’ll join us in supporting fair pay for women!

Edited to add: Check out the list of bloggers who have taken part so far! And there's still time to sign up.
