Decolonize Thanksgiving by spreading “Truthsgiving," to help teach its true history & acknowledge the atrocities of this colonial holiday. The truth cannot be hidden, erased nor ignored. Thank you to Sikowis N. for sharing more with us about the #Truthsgiving movement.

#LatinaEqualPayDay isn’t just a reminder of today’s wage gap—it’s a warning for the future. At the current pace, Latinas won’t reach pay equity with White men until 2160 for full-time, year-round workers—and not until 2178 for all Latinas with earnings.

The time for change is now! #EqualPayDay
