Blog for Fair Pay Day - April 18

I have been asked to help spread the word about an upcoming blog event -- the Blog for Fair Pay Day. It's certainly something I can support!

The National Women's Law Center would like you to know that:

Women in the United States are still paid only 77 cents for every dollar paid to their white male counterparts.

And for women of color, the numbers are even worse. African-American women earn 63 cents and Latinas earn 52 cents for every dollar paid to white men.*

It’s time to take action.


A bill awaiting a vote in Congress would help women fight for fair pay. Advocates are pushing for the Senate to vote by the end of April, to commemorate Equal Pay Day on April 18.

Raise your voice in support! Sign up to blog on Friday, April 18, about the importance of fair pay for women. Please also ask your readers to urge to their Senators to support the Fair Pay Restoration Act. We’ll send you a reminder as the date gets closer.

You can also download a graphic to let your readers know you’ll be participating and learn more about the Fair Pay Restoration Act.

We hope you’ll join us in supporting fair pay for women!

*Note: These statistics are for full-time, year-round workers.

Hey, who couldn't use a few more $$$ every pay day!
