Twitter Storm Tomorrow!
Join the Paycheck Fairness Coalition for a Twitter storm to urge President Obama to #TalkPay during his upcoming State of the Union
address.
Thursday, January 23 | 2-3pm EST
Join the storm using #TalkPay
Join us as we urge President Obama to #TalkPay during the upcoming State of the Union Address! Today, women typically make only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. And for women of color, the wage gap is substantially worse.
The State of the Union address is where the President sets out his priorities. We want to urge him to commit to ways to close the pay gap and remind the
American public why this issue is so important.
