Oppressed people- women, POC, disabled people, and LGBTQ people- face hurdles like unequal pay and discrimination that makes it harder to afford necessities. The choice to pause food assistance is cruelty. https://19thnews.org/2025/10/food-banks-snap-wic-government-shutdown/

Job segregation, subminimum wages, employment discrimination and more all contribute to the wage gap for working disabled women. This #DisabledWomensEPD, we’re calling for systemic policy changes from Congress and federal government agencies.

Today is the very first time the equal pay movement is recognizing this pay gap, a reminder of how far we still have to go to make our work truly intersectional and anti-abelist. #DisabledWomensEPD Read more on our blog: https://bit.ly/475OADF

Since the founding of this country, some have tried to prevent us from voting and engaging in civil society because they know that when we do, we win. Our communities thrive when all voices are heard and represented at all levels of government. https://n.pr/4hcukne

August 28 is Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) Women’s Equal Pay Day. For every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men working full time, year-round in 2023, NHPI women, working full time, year-round only were paid 65 cents. #NHPIWomensEqualPayDay

It's #NHPIWomensEqualPayDay — a day that marks how far into the following year Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women must work to make the same wage white men make in a single year. Women deserve #equalpayforequalwork! Get involved in the fight for #payequity. Learn more at equalpaytoday.org

Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander (NHPI) women face worse wage gaps than most realize, earning less than 61 cents per dollar. Equal Pay for NHPI women is long overdue! Take action action.momsrising.org/sign/NHPIEQD... via @momsrising.org #EqualPayDay #NHPIWomensEqualPayDay

Our voting system is safe. Mail-in voting is safe. People who want to make voting more difficult know they will lose when it's easy and accessible. https://www.npr.org/2025/08/18/nx-s1-5506210/trump-mail-in-ballots-ban

Low-income families, predominantly families of color, will feel the squeeze the most both in their own budgets and cuts to school budgets. Whttps://19thnews.org/2025/08/school-supply-debate-teachers-parents-tariffs-trump/

“Since their policies tend to disproportionately have a negative impact on people with less power and privilege, we will know and understand less about this impact if less data is made available.” https://19thnews.org/2025/08/suspending-monthly-jobs-reports-impacts-women-of-color/

Employers know who suffers most from return-to-office mandates and the removal of flexibility. Paired with astronomical child care costs, working women are leaving the workforce in high numbers and reversing gains made during the pandemic. yhoo.it/4lkdy65

It doesn't matter if they hit today, tomorrow, or next month; working women of color cannot afford the estimated average of $2,400 increase in expenses. We're already stretched thin with high rent, medical costs, and child care. n.pr/4mmoGQJ

Last week was Black Women's Equal Pay Day and 9to5 Georgia's executive state director, Jasmine Bowles, visited WHUR 96.3 out of Howard University to discuss the pay gap. Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_ys...

People of color are already paying more for energy bills. Policies like these will overburden the people already stretching their paychecks to the fullest. www.npr.org/2025/07/15/n...

July 10th marks #BlackWomensEqualPayDay, a reminder that this country still runs on a system built on theft, and we’re the ones being robbed. Paid only 66 cents for every dollar a white man earns, Black women’s labor continues to be exploited, undervalued and dismissed. bit.ly/4kxMX5k

📊 In 1967, Black women were paid 43 cents for every dollar white non-Hispanic men were paid. 📊 In 2023, they were paid 66 cents. That’s 56 years and only a 23-cent gain. Black women deserve more than slow progress. They deserve equal pay. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

Last night, the House passed a bill that slashes healthcare, SNAP, and other critical services to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. This fight isn't over. The bill still needs to pass the Senate and we can still make our voices heard. Read more: n.pr/3FomSa9

We knew they would come for all of our ability to access safe and effective healthcare. Reproductive freedom is economic freedom. Without it, people are forced to put education, work, and long-term goals on hold, trapping generations in cycles of poverty. msmagazine.com/2025/05/15/f...

This guy with literal golden toilets can not fathom that there are girls whose families can only afford one doll already. He's so out of touch that he can't imagine how badly tariffs will hit low-income families. www.cnbc.com/2025/05/05/t...

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Tariffs place an undue burden on working women of color whose budgets are already stretched thin, who already make less due to the racism and sexism of the pay gap, and who already use more of their paychecks to pay for necessities. www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

In practical terms, the price hikes caused by tariffs reach deep into women’s lives, especially for those working in care industries or running small businesses. www.washingtoninformer.com/trump-tariff...

The so-called “SAVE Act” will make it harder, if not impossible, for millions of eligible voters to register to vote and have their voices heard. This would impact everyone but especially communities of color and the tens of millions of married women in America who have changed their names.

Rescheduled or not, tariffs are an unaffordable and shameless tax on working people that will place a more significant burden on women and nonbinary people of color. Thanks for having us @blackpressusa.bsky.social blackpressusa.com/pink-tariff-...
