April 22 - Equal Pay Day
http://www.nwlc.org/fairpay/

Equal Pay Day - the point in 2008 when the average woman's wages finally catch up with what the average man earned in 2007 - will be recognized on Tuesday, April 22. To commemorate Equal Pay Day, the Senate is expected to vote soon on a key bill that would make it easier to ensure justice for employees who have been subject to pay discrimination. https://secure2.convio.net/nwlc/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&page=UserAction&id=191&JServSessionIdr005=izkkjvelva.app1a">The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act would give all employees a better shot at a fair workplace, making it easier to ensure justice for those who have been discriminated against based on sex, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, and age

Senate Expected to Vote Soon on Fair Pay Bill

Women in the United States are still paid only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. 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.

Contact Your Senators Today

E-mail your Senators today and urge them to support the Fair Pay Restoration Act. https://secure2.convio.net/nwlc/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&page=UserAction&id=191
