November 30th has officially been recognized at Native Women's Equal Pay Day.
Could you imagine having to work for 2 years to earn the same amount as your coworker? This is the infuriating reality for Native women across the U.S.
According to the National Women’s Law Center, the average Native woman in the United States who works full-time, year round, is typically paid 57 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. This wage gap amounts to a loss of about $2,250 per month or $27,000 per year.
Today, we demand equal pay for Native women!
