For Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day, our Managing Director, Kenrya Rankin (she/her) @kenrya.bsky.social, speaks to the disabling conditions that Black disabled women face due to capitalism and the current administration. Read the press release and the resolution at tinyurl.com/DWEPD25PressRelease

To support pay equity for disabled women, we must end segregated workplaces and subminimum wages. Take action for better jobs and fair pay for disabled workers! Tell Congress: Pass the Transformation to Competitive Integrated Employment Act (TCIEA)! #DisabledWomensEPD

Read more on reducing barriers to employment for disabled women: #DisabledWomensEPD www.americanprogress.org/article/play...

Disabled women are paid only 68 cents to every dollar nondisabled men make. Equal pay isn’t just about numbers; it’s about justice, access, and survival. Learn more: zurl.co/Wkxdj #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay #DisabledWomensEPD

It's #DisabledWomensEPD. On top of getting paid half of what a non disabled man makes, disabled women & the programs they rely on are under threat from Trump. No matter your background, race or gender, we all deserve equal pay for equal work & safe & accessible working conditions.

According to a 2023 estimate, tens of thousands of disabled workers are being paid less than the federal minimum wage, with a majority making less than $3.50/hour, & many work in “sheltered workshops.” #DisabledWomensEPD nationalpartnership.org/report/disab...

Care work is work. Disabled women – both caregivers and care recipients – deserve the funding to live and work in our communities. Tell Congress to pass the HCBS Access Act to make it happen. #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay #DisabledWomensEPD @Equalpay2dayorg

Disabled women, esp. bi, trans, non-binary, & women of color, face some of the steepest wage gaps compared to non-disabled men. Economic justice must include disabled LGBTQ+ people of color. [1/9] #DisabledWomensEPD #BiVisibilityDay #DisabilityJustice #PayEquity

This year, disabled women are facing massive cuts to employment programs and services, and even our ability to track those cuts is being blocked. When data disappears, so do our stories. That’s why #DisabledWomensEPD matters more than ever. Take action & share your story: tinyurl.com/DWEPD25

While we work to close the wage gap for disabled women, we also must break down the ableist barriers & systems in place that keep disabled women in poverty. Our systems need a transformation. #DisabledWomensEPD

Did you know that the pay gap is wider for disabled women of color? Sexism, racism, and ableism means we’re paid even less than nondisabled men. We need equal pay now to lift disabled women out of poverty! Take Action here: tinyurl.com/DWEPD25 #DisabledWomensEPD

Disabled women are paid only 56 cents for every dollar paid to a nondisabled man. Ridiculous, right? That’s why today is the second-ever #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay. Join us in highlighting the barriers to equal pay and help us close the gap. Take action today! tinyurl.com/DWEPD25

Please do not call the cops when someone is having a mental health crisis. They escalate the crisis and put people in more danger. In Philly, you can call 988 to get in touch with non-police mobile crisis teams. Thank you @leximcmenamin.com for reporting on this for @teenvogue.com.
