Black women experience one of the largest and most persistent wage gaps in the country due to both racial and gender discrimination.

The impact compounds over a lifetime and limits wealth, homeownership, and retirement security. Closing this gap requires confronting systemic inequities and ensuring equal opportunity at every stage of employment. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay may have been on July 21. Still, Women Engaged demands that the Trump Administration and Congress end the attack on Black women’s economic security by embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, preserving federal jobs, and strengthening workplace rights that benefit all Americans. #BlackWomen #EqualPay #PayEquity #WomenEngaged #GOTV #BlackWomensEqualPay #WageGap #EconomicJustice #WorkplaceEquality #DiversityAndInclusion #EqualOpportunity #BlackWomenLeaders #GenderEquity #SocialJustice
