#NHPIWomensEqualPayDay recognizes the significant and persistent pay disparity between Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women and their white male counterparts. The Trump administration has made it more difficult to break down wage gaps by ethnicity—making them harder to address.

#WomensEqualityDay marks the adoption of the 19th Amendment, guaranteeing the right to vote regardless of sex. Racist legislation continued to disenfranchise voters of color, particularly women, for decades. To this day, voter suppression silences voices. Remembering the words of Coretta Scott King.

Dorothy Height led the National Council of Negro Women for 40 years.
