Closing this week with deep gratitude to @CMLewisGeorgeW4 @BrianneKNadeau & @CMRobertWhiteDC who each funded the #DCDomesticWorkersBillofRights in their committees. With funds, this law has the power to transform the working conditions of the 9,000 domestic workers in our city.

What’s the wage gap in your state? @NPWF has you covered! This #EqualPayDay, check out our analysis of how closing wage gaps would help women and families afford child care, health care and more. bit.ly/3IZYfyf
55
This #EqualPayDay, @NPWF recognizes that wage gaps are even larger for women of color, with Native American women typically paid 51 cents, Latinas 54 cents, Black women 64 cents, and AANHPI women paid 80 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men.

The medical certification process to go about getting #paidleave can also take time, and can affect those who don't have access to a printer, computer, and then becomes another barrier to accessing #paidleave. - @1stShiftJustice #genderequality

While having #paidleave is really important, workers have ongoing care needs beyond needing paid leave from work. And a lot of that is up to their employers. - @1stShiftJustice #genderequality

New @amprog data shows that over 82% of American families break the mold of the traditional “nuclear” structure. Supportive policies like #PaidLeave need to work for those who need them most – we need these programs to recognize and support ALL families. americanprogress.org/article…
