Exec Director of Equal Rights Advocates (@EqualRightsAdv). Gender justice is my jam, at all its intersections. I am a Bronx girl; tweets my own. She/her
I am super proud that we are in the streets, in the courts, and every hall of power demanding that our democratic institutions and federal agencies defend civil rights. Thanks to our National Campaign Director @DebVagins for being on the streets of D.C. today standing up for women and workers for @EqualRightsAdv and @EqualPay2dayOrg
Our National Campaigns Director, @DebVagins, was out in protest this morning against the @USEEOC’s dangerous shift in priorities and the rescission of workplace harassment guidance.
She also spoke with @BusinessInsider about what the EEOC’s new focus means for workers’ rights.👇🏻
The Trump Administration’s decision to freeze $10 billion in child care subsidies, social services and cash support for low-income families across five Dem-controlled states is not fiscal responsibility. It’s a political vendetta and economic warfare against women and children. Read my statement on behalf of @EqualRightsAdv here: https://t.co/epCvPAN7Rt
The federal government has reopened after the longest shutdown in our nation’s history—but the shutdown and the uncertainty it created left millions without clarity on the long-term future of vital programs like SNAP, deepening a sense of instability for households already stretched thin. @HouseDemocrats@HouseGOP
“The longest shutdown in U.S. history has left women, families, and frontline workers twisting in the wind while politicians play power games,” Noreen Farrell, executive director of Equal Rights Advocates, said. “When the government does not work, working people and those who rely on public programs pay the price.” Government Reopens After Record Shutdown. What Comes Next https://t.co/dRt97xCrDe via @WashInformer
Disabled women are paid only 56 cents for every dollar paid to a nondisabled man. Ridiculous, right? That’s why today is the second-ever #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay. Help us close the gap. Take action today! https://t.co/gwci6it1ly
In the face of dangerous attempts to suppress the First Amendment rights of nonprofit organizations with which the Trump administration disagrees, we are deeply grateful to have an attorney general in California willing to stand up for our sector and fight against political retribution. https://t.co/jgxvO52ned
On this #LatinaEqualPayDay, we strengthen the fight for Latina wage justice and celebrate our incredible partners in this work from @EqualPay2dayOrg - including @JusticeMigrantWomen @LCLAA and @MonicaRamirezOH who have led this day for 10 years!
Latina women who work full time, year round, and part time earn only 54 cents for every $1 earned by a white male. Take a stand against pay discrimination & occupational segregation! We need #LatinaEqualPay for #Trabajadoras everywhere.

@EqualRightsAdv which has spent 50 years fighting for gender justice in workplaces and schools across the country, strongly condemns the Senate’s decision to confirm Brittany Panuccio as a Commissioner of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Her confirmation hands the Trump administration the vote needed to complete its systematic dismantling of the EEOC’s independence and accelerate attacks on civil rights protections for workers nationwide.

House Democrat presses Fed for data on the Trump-fueled spike in Black women's unemployment Thanks to @_Jahan and @MSNBC for shining a light on this with us. "@farrellERA also raised concerns that the administration’s attempts to install a right-wing activist to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics could lead to data about women’s unemployment — such as the data Pressley expressed concern about in her letter — being manipulated or completely fabricated to hide the severity of job losses under Trump." https://t.co/oWODn20WDl via @msnbc
This Labor Day, let's celebrate the dignity and power of working people. As the labor movement ended child labor, 18-hour days, and unsafe working conditions, let's push back on today’s wave of oppression and unlawful exploitation of workers. WE CAN DO THIS! My statement here. https://t.co/9vLX5nZzov
The Dept of Labor is proposing to cut protections that help women access trade apprenticeships. They want to make it HARDER by removing:
❌Anti-harassment training
❌Programs that recruit women
❌Ways to report discrimination
Take action to oppose these changes now!

“Eliminating the jobs report while women flee the workforce isn’t incompetence, it’s the intended outcome of their war on civil rights,” I told @_Jahan - Thanks for his piece: How bent BLS data could fuel conservatives' war on working women https://t.co/6ds7N1C0lI via @msnbc
Honored to join this webinar to discuss @EqualPay2dayOrg and the work we are doing to call attention to the egregious wage gaps faced by Black women, only made worse by this Administration.
🚨 Today is Black Women's Equal Pay Day—a reminder that Black women are STILL fighting for economic justice. So proud of @EqualPay2dayOrg partners with us in the fight!
The recent dismantling of DEI programs & federal agencies that protect workers' rights is making things much worse. It's time to act! Contact your reps. Black women deserve economic security, not systematic barriers. Take action today 💪 #BlackWomensEqualPayDay https://t.co/96NVputxYN
