Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day! On average, Black Women must work until today to earn what white men earned last year. This year, the symbolic day occurs two weeks earlier than in 2023. We’ve made strides in the fight for fair wages, but there is still work to be done. Join us in signing the pay equity pledge by clicking the link below.

While national pay data collection is limited, according to research from the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, LGBTQIA+ workers make approximately 90 cents for every dollar earned by the typical worker in the U.S. Women in the LGBTQIA+ community make only 87 cents for every dollar the typical worker earns. Every person regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation deserves to be paid and treated fairly!

Sharing highlights from my recent participation in the "Establishing Transparent and Equitable Pay Practices" webinar, hosted by the Columbus Women's Commission and moderated by Commissioner Gina Ginn, PhD.! It was an honor to speak alongside the incredible Lourdes Barroso de Padilla, a dedicated member of the Columbus City Council, and panelists Kim Kerber and Karim Ali, who shared their experiences implementing transparent pay practices in their organizations. Our discussion focused on the importance of clear and consistent compensation policies, the positive impact on employee well-being, the evolving legislation requiring more transparency, and practical steps organizations can take to achieve pay equity. Check out the beautiful visual notes from our session, capturing key takeaways and action points. Stay tuned for more opportunities to engage in this incredibly important and timely conversation! #PayTransparency #PayEquity #EquityInAction #WorkplaceEquity #ColumbusWomensCommission
