#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.
