We have discussed healthcare heroes and all those fighting on the front lines against COVID-19, many of which are women. Take Dr. Sylvia de Souza, who is fighting day in and day out to ensure that her patients and Emergency Room staff are given the treatment and supplies they deserve. Does she not deserve to be paid as much as her male colleagues? Or Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett who is researching, as we speak, to find us a vaccination for this terrible virus. Or the mothers that have quickly adjusted to remote learning in order to make sure their child receives an education, despite the current obstacles. These are just a few examples of the heroic women amongst us that deserve to be recognized for their hard work.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Black women who are employed full time and work year round are typically paid $.61 to the white non-hispanic male who works the same amount of time in a comparable job. As a result of this inequity, their actual equal pay day will be on August 22nd.\u00a0Latina women suffer from even greater inequality, resulting in their equal pay day being on November 20 because they make $.53, and Native American women\u2019s equal pay day is September 23 since they make $.58. Today we celebrate equal pay day to acknowledge all women who are literally short changed and in sum make hundreds of thousands of dollars less than their white male non-hispanic counterparts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Pay equity has been one of our top priorities, and now more than ever we need to prioritize pay equity for women. Women have played and continue to play a pivotal role in the growth, innovation, and contributions to our society, and should be compensated accordingly. I stand with millions of women across our great city and country and on this final day of Women\u2019s history month steadfastly say: We want, we deserve, we demand EQUAL PAY.Have you seen the accomplishments of the 31 women we highlighted for women’s history month? Can you believe that giants like Barbara Streisand, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Lena Horne, and Deborah Halberstam don\u2019t or didn\u2019t get paid the same as their male counterparts because they are women?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This cannot go on, our gender is an add and enhances the work we do. We wouldn\u2019t have the innovative contributions these women made if it wasn\u2019t for their lived experiences as girls and women.\u00a0I say today and until it happens-equal pay for women now!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As always, wash your hands frequently, practical social distancing when going out for essentials, and stay connected! #SpreadJoyNotGerms<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You are on my mind,<\/div>\n
