Black Women’s Equal Pay Day 2021

This year, Black Women’s Equal Pay Day falls on Tuesday, August 3rd. Why August 3rd? Because it takes the average Black woman, working full-time year-round, 8 extra months to earn what the average white non-Hispanic man earns in 1 year.

Twitter Storm: 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET – Join us to raise awareness about the wage gap experienced by Black women. Alongside our Equal Pay Today coalition partners nationwide, we will be highlighting the effects of workplace discrimination, as well as the impacts of COVID-19 on Black women and their families.
