Today is #LatinaEqualPayDay. Latina women are paid only half of their white, male counterparts, and they deserve to be paid what they're owed.

Do your part by advocating for #equalpayforequalwork and challenging workplace biases that allow inequality to thrive.

In "mano a mano," journalist & poet Anthony Orozco speaks to the significant, and often under-recognized, contributions of Latine and Hispanic communities. The poem reminds us that we are all interconnected, and our fight for progress is only possible with collective effort.

Happy #HispanicHeritageMonth! Organizers like Dolores Huerta have shown us that collective action leads to collective power. A civil rights & labor activist, in the '60s, Huerta co-founded @ufw.bsky.social, the largest farm workers union, protecting vegetable, berry, winery, and dairy workers.

Bodily autonomy is essential for EVERYONE—regardless of gender, orientation, age, or race.

We're supporting movements and their leaders who are fighting for reproductive justice for all.

It's #NHPIWomensEqualPayDay — a day that marks how far into the following year Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women must work to make the same wage white men make in a single year. Women deserve #equalpayforequalwork!

Happy #WomensEqualityDay! Today in 1920, the 19th Amendment was adopted, ensuring the right to vote, regardless of sex—though racist legislation disenfranchised women voters of color for decades.

In 1973, thanks to advocacy by Bella Abzug, August 26th was federally named Women's Equality Day. 💪💞

Our fights for liberation are forever intertwined. There is no justice for some until there is justice for all.
