We invest in roads and bridges because they enable us to go to work and hold onto our jobs, improve quality of life, and make the economy more productive. We must invest in care infrastructure for the same reasons. bit.ly/3zoYaxf #PaidLeaveForAll

Today is #NativeWomensEqualPay Day – the date into this year that Native Women have to work to finally catch up to what white, non-Hispanic men earned last year. Join us and our partners for a social media storm at 2:00 p.m. ET to demand more for Native women. #EqualPay

The need for #NativeWomensEqualPay is a reflection of the systemic colonial barriers that Native women face — barriers to economic opportunity, the epidemic of Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, lack of healthcare access, and more. We must demand #EquityForNativeWomen.
