Support mutual aid organizations and individual mutual aid campaigns that back disabled women, disabled caregivers, and disabled trans folks in this moment in which too many of us are doing more, with less — when there isn’t more to give. #DWEPD #MoreWithLess

[CA Commission on the Status of Women and Girls @CCSWG]

Register to vote, find your polling place, and make a plan to vote for candidates who will stand up for disabled women and allow us to live full lives with jobs, care, and food our families need to survive and thrive. #DWEPD #MoreWithLess

[CA Commission on the Status of Women and Girls @CCSWG]

Demand living wages for all and abolish subminimum wages for all workers — from disabled workers to imprisoned workers. #DWEPD #MoreWithLess

[CA Commission on the Status of Women and Girls @CCSWG]

The wage gap is only part of the “disability tax”: 83 percent of working disabled adults have disability-related out-of-pocket costs, averaging about 10 percent of annual income. #DWEPD #MoreWithLess

[CA Commission on the Status of Women and Girls @CCSWG]

If disabled women did not lose $24,000 a year to the wage gap, we could afford: Nearly 2 years of childcare, nearly 2 1/2 years of food, nearly 1 year of mortgage payments, more than 1 year of health insurance premiums, or pay off average student loan debt in less than two years.

Disabled women are paid less, being laid off en masse, and losing accommodations and benefits we need to work, survive, and thrive. #DWEPD #MoreWithLess

Latinas workers drive our economy—but the community isn’t a monolith. This #LatinaEqualPay Day, @IWPResearch looks at the wage gap by national origin and race/ethnicity. #Trabajadoras

Latinas’ gender and racial wage gap has worsened—and without proactive reform, they will not reach pay equity until the year 2180. Read @IWPResearch’s latest #LatinaEqualPay #Trabajadoras

$33,370 less a year—money that could go to child care. Housing. Education. That’s what the widening gender wage gap means for Latina workers. Read @IWPResearch’s latest #LatinaEqualPay #Trabajadoras

[CA Commission on the Status of Women and Girls @CCSWG]

Latina women who work full time, year round, and part time earn only 53 cents for every $1 earned by a white male. Take a stand against pay discrimination & occupational segregation! We need #LatinaEqualPay for #Trabajadoras everywhere.
