Request to White House Concerning Executive Action on Pay Equity

As a coalition of organizations that promote economic equity for women and vigorous enforcement of worker protection laws, we urge you to take timely and critical executive actions on the issue of equal pay. Decades of a stagnant wage gap mean that women—and the families who depend on their income—are facing dire circumstances, exacerbated by erosion of basic workplace protections and supports, and the economic and health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
