It's #EqualPayDay!

There is a lot of work to be done to eradicate the gender and race pay gap. So, let's start moving toward equality today.

Spoiler: There is a lot of work to be done to reach parity.

And... it's going to take some time to get there.

But, as you can see, society has made some big strides.

However, there are some places in the U.S. that need more help than others...

And when you look at the bigger picture, the issue is quite glaring.

The gender pay gay is just one piece of the puzzle. It's time to eradicate the race and ethnicity pay gap, as well.

What a wonderful equal world it could be.

All we have to do is work together to raise the minimum wage, make work environments safer and provide more employee protections. Let's get to it.
