We stand in solidarity with @splcenter.org in the ongoing struggle for racial, economic, and social justice for all. Next week’s House Judiciary Committee hearing is the latest attempt by the administration to intimidate their critics and whitewash extremism. We must not be silenced.

LGBTQIA+ women earn about 87 cents for every dollar the typical worker earns. Wage equity means more than just a paycheck—it also means fair access to benefits like #PaidLeave and workplaces where everyone is safe, seen, and supported.

What causes the wage gap to keep gappin’ year after year? 🤔 Gender & racial discrimination, harassment at work, job segregation and a lack of policies that support families and caregiving all keep the wage gap alive. #equalpayday
