Rally with us on Equal Pay Day for bold action and lasting change in New York!
Join together online with activists and friends for the PowHerNY Statewide Rally for Women’s Equal Pay Day. This 16th annual virtual rally will feature elected officials, advocates and individuals from across New York State.
March 15, National Equal Pay Day, is the symbolic date when full-time working women’s wages equal the wages earned by full-time working men in the prior year. Calculated on 2020 data, that’s 83 cents on the dollar nationally, and 86 cents for New York. These figures do not factor in the effects of the pandemic: a catastrophic loss of income due to an exodus of full-time working women from the workforce and a shift to part-time work. To get serious about addressing both historic wage inequality and current disruption in work for women, we must tackle all the root causes of the wage gap. New York has that opportunity now by taking bold action.
Rally with us to call for stronger laws and substantial investment in the care infrastructure including higher wages and benefits of care workers. Each year on Equal Pay Day, leaders declare closing the wage gap as a top priority. This year, if we take bold action, we can make lasting change.
All are welcome to attend. Zoom links will be sent out 24 and 2 hours in advance. If you have any issues, please email info@powherny.org.
