April 12 is Equal Pay Day.
Equal Pay Day marks the symbolic day when women’s pay finally “catches up” to men’s pay from the previous year.
You’ve probably heard that men are paid more than women are paid over their lifetimes. But what does that mean? Get the facts, and take action to close the gender pay gap. Every woman deserves equal pay!
BREAKING: The gender pay gap has CLOSED! Oh wait…
We *wish* the pay gap were just a (bad) joke. Take action now.

Chris Rock: If Jennifer Lawrence Were Black, 'She'd Really Have Something To Complain About'
Chris Rocks hits on an important fact: The gender pay gap affects all women, but it doesn’t affect all women equally.
Black women were paid 63 percent of what non-Hispanic white men were paid in 2014. That means it takes the typical black woman nearly seven extra months to be paid what the average white man took home back on December 31. That’s even worse than the national pay gap for women of all races, 79 percent, as reported by AAUW’s research.
Think about how that adds up in the course of a career, and we’re talking about losing a daunting chunk of change over a lifetime.
