Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day (July 9th) 🤑

According to Equal Pay Today (), the wage gap for Black women compared to non-Hispanic white men is 69 cents for full time, year-round workers. The wage gap widens to 66 cents when looking at all Black women earners (including full-time, part-time and part-year workers), as compared to all working non-Hispanic white men. These wage gaps are unacceptable. Black women continue to be underpaid, undervalued, and overrepresented in jobs that lack important workplace protections.

May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, traces its origins back to the late 19th century labor movement. It commemorates the Haymarket affair in Chicago in 1886, where workers protested for an eight-hour workday. Since then, May Day has become a global day of solidarity, highlighting the ongoing struggle for workers’ rights and social justice.
