Executive Director Noreen Farrell is featured in an Ebony Magazine article about Black Women’s Equal Pay Day:

“Even before the pandemic, unequal pay, workplace discrimination, and a lack of affordable childcare put women at a financial disadvantage—all of which is heightened for women of color,” says Noreen Farrell, Executive Director of Equal Rights Advocates who conducted the recent study. “These community responses confirm what we’ve all suspected. The pandemic exacerbated all of these issues, and while white men, as well as higher-earning white women, are returning to some form of normalcy, low-to-middle income Black and Latinx breadwinners have been set years behind in their careers and financial goals.”
