Today marks how far into 2026 women must work to match what men earned in 2025—a gap that continues to widen, with women earning 81 cents on the dollar.
On #EqualPayDay, I joined @DemWomenCaucus to call for passage of our Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure equal pay for equal work.
It’s Equal Pay Day — and for the second year in a row, the gender pay gap is moving in the wrong direction.
In 2026, women are still making just 81 cents on the dollar for the same work. That’s unacceptable.
Same work. Same pay. It really is that simple.
“May green be the grass you walk on
May blue be the skies above you
May pure be the joys that surround you
May true be the hearts that love you.”
