Lucas,
General Motors’ newest CEO, Mary Barra, has the same job title and the same responsibilities as the executives that came before her, but her salary is less than half of what they were paid. The only difference? She’s a woman.
Barra’s high profile story makes the news because millions of dollars of compensation are in question, but who is telling the story of the millions of women in America who take home 77 cents for every dollar that their male coworkers make?
It’s up to us. Together we must put an end to the discriminatory pay gap that is challenging hard working families every day. Add your name to mine and tell Congress that equal work deserves equal pay- no excuses! Sign here.
Republicans in Congress have obstructed every attempt to resolve pay inequality in our country, including blocking the Paycheck Fairness Act. They also refuse to raise the minimum wage, even though studies show that two of every three minimum wage jobs are held by women.
Join me in asking House Republicans to ensure women in America get the pay they deserve and fix the gap! Add your name to mine now.
Thank you for standing up against this nonsense with me.
Louise
PS: Thank you to everyone who stood with me and helped me make my first end of month fundraising budget deadline. I couldn’t be more proud that you are standing with me.
