Latina Equal Pay Day

“October 29 is Latina Equal Pay Day, marking how far into 2020—nearly 11 months—the typical Latina must work to make the same amount as the typical non-Hispanic white man was paid in 2019. Latina workers are paid just 67 cents on the dollar on an average hourly basis, relative to non-Hispanic white men with the same level of education, age, and geographic location.”

Now think about it in the lens of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Latina essential workers. Read the article linked below & in my bio to learn just a sliver of how vital Latinas are in our communities but also how unjustly compensated Latinas continue to be.

There’s a lot work to be done.
