WELCOME TO THE FIGHT FOR EQUAL PAY!
The mission of Equal Pay Today, a project at Equal Rights Advocates, is to eradicate the long-standing gender wage gap impacting the economic security of women, families, and communities of color. Through strategies involving policy reform, litigation, education and outreach, our innovative collaboration of national, regional, and state-based women's legal advocacy, worker justice groups, and social justice organizations is changing conversations about equal pay at every opportunity.
