Today is Equal Pay Day but I’m not celebrating. Still today, even 50 years after the Equal Pay Act was passed, women are making just 77 cents for every dollar a man makes.

There is something we can do to change this, though. I’ve been fighting for the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would ensure employers do not discriminate based on gender. It will also make it easier for women to pursue gender-based pay discrimination claims.

I don’t see a downside to this legislation, but apparently Washington Republicans do. They have been blocking this bill and I’m sick of it.

Please stand with me and the women across this country to demand passage of the Paycheck Fairness Act today!  Sign your name and show Republicans in Congress that we won’t wait another 50 years for equal pay!

Equal work deserves equal pay and passing the Paycheck Fairness Act is the next step in the fight for equal pay.

This bill won’t get anywhere unless we let Republicans know that we’re watching them. Tell Republicans it’s time. It’s time for equal pay. In fact, it’s long overdue.

Please sign our petition today, on Equal Pay Day, and help us send a message.

Thanks for everything and, as always, take care,
Dave
