These disparities are even greater for women of color, with Black, Native, and Latina women waiting even longer into the year for their Equal Pay Day due to even wider pay gaps. Women everywhere deserve equal pay for equal work, period.
A similar graphic with a dark blue background and progressively smaller pieces of the torn dollar bill, next to each is the corresponding equal pay day: 
MARCH 25: ALL WOMEN’S EQUAL PAY DAY
APRIL 7: ASIAN AMERICAN WOMEN’S EQUAL PAY DAY
MAY 6:  MOM’S EQUAL PAY DAY
JUNE 17TH: LGBTIA+ WOMEN’S EQUAL PAY DAY
JULY 10TH: BLACK WOMEN’S EQUAL PAY DAY
AUGUST 17TH: NATIVE HAWAIIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER WOMEN’S EQUAL PAY DAY
