All women experience a pay gap, but Latinas face one of the widest pay disparities of any group of women—earning on average just 54 cents for every dollar a white man earns, when looking at both full- and part-time workers.

Join us in person in downtown Chicago on Thursday, December 8th for Empowerment, Progress, and Determination: Advocating for Accountability—an event in solidarity with Latina Equal Pay Day, the last Equal Pay Day of the year, and economic justice for all women all year round.

Equal Pay Day Chicago's first in-person event in 3 years will feature a conversation with Latina leaders from across Chicago and Illinois on how we can advocate for accountability and work towards change. We'll follow with a reception honoring coalition founder Barb Yong and celebrating her upcoming retirement. Appetizers and refreshments will be provided by Latinx-owned businesses.
