#EqualPay 🟰 #EqualDignity. But right now, civil rights enforcement is under attack. EEOC leadership has openly refused to protect trans workers. We need action. We need accountability. Congress must restore and fund the agencies that protect us all. #LGBTQIAEqualPay #ProtectOurAgencies

🗣️ Our fight for equal pay is inclusive. We recognize that transgender, gender non-conforming, LGBTQIA+ BIPOC individuals, women, and immigrants often face even wider wage gaps. #PaidLeave is just one part of the comprehensive solutions we're advocating for.

For decades, New Yorkers who need to take time off for their own health needs have been expected to survive on a paltry $170/week, without job-protection or the ability to take leave intermittently. Join us in telling the NY Assembly: Pass A84! takeaction.io/abb/tell-you...

Women and people of color are among those most affected by cuts to certain agencies, according to a new analysis from the National Women’s Law Center.

How women have been impacted by Musk-led federal layoffs

The NY state budget is complete. New funding for child care assistance will help to avert a severe child care assistance shortfall, but the Budget continues to bypass workforce investment needs.
