This event has been postponed and will be re-scheduled for a date this summer:
Equal Pay Day is the symbolic day when women’s earnings “catch up” to men’s earnings from the previous year. March 31st marks the day when the average woman worker earned as much in 15 months as a man in the same job made in 12.

Note well that for women of color “pay equity” day is even later in theyear — from August to November. As part of the national campaign, the call goes out to Wear Red on Equal pay Day to symbolize how far women and minorities are “in the red” with their pay.

Our branch will mark this pay inequity day by having a “connection” table in the downtown mall plaza across the street from City Hall. We will hand out Pay Day bars and cards, discuss Working Smart workshops to the many who work downtown, and take lunch in the Plaza. Our table is our visible way to raise awareness about and organize action around the gender pay gap in our community.

Please join your fellow members at this event as we engage Oaklanders and of course
remind them to vote and to be part of the census.
