Happy #NativeWomenEqualPay Day? Not really.
Today, September 8 marks Native American women’s equal pay day, the day that the wages of American Indian and Alaska Native women catch up to the money white men were paid last year. (It took about nine months, if you’re counting.)
Think every woman deserves equal pay? We do. Learn more and take action.
#ICYMI: Earlier this week, Target announced it will remove all gender-based signage for toys and children. Here’s to hoping more stores follow suit!

11 Times Jon Stewart Threw Down For Feminism
“After 18 years behind “The Daily Show” desk, tonight is Jon Stewart’s last as the host of the beloved political satire.
Since 1999, audiences have relied on Stewart to skewer and sober through times of sadness and absurdity. And when it came to feminism and women’s rights, there were plenty of opportunities to do so.
With a well-calibrated mansplain detector, Jon Stewart’s “Daily Show” regularly pointed out how absurd it is that a male-dominated political landscape makes decisions about reproductive rights. For a show tasked with parodying the news, real-life instances of sexism and declarations made about women were often farcical enough on their own.
With consistently perfect delivery, Stewart mocked and ridiculed sexism while acknowledging its dangerous impact on the way women live.
Throughout the Stewart Administration, female correspondents including Samantha Bee and Jessica Williams covered gender politics in some of the most standout “Daily Show” segments. Samantha Bee left earlier this year to start her own show, but 26-year-old Jessica Williams will stay on board as comedian Trevor Noah takes over the desk in September.
Stewart’s unique brand of male-on-male misandry will be hard to match. Here are 11 of Jon Stewart’s most memorable feminist mic drops.”
