In 2022, all Latinas with reported earnings were paid just 52 cents to the dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic male workers.
For working Latinas, it takes us almost twice as long—two years—to be compensated what a white, non-Hispanic male worker is paid in just one year.
Throughout the country, events, marches and training sessions are organized to mark these pay days. Millions organize and activate on social media to demonstrate solidarity and to call for fair and equitable pay. Together, we raise our voices, express our outrage and call for change once and for all. And, we are not demanding change for ourselves. We are calling for change for each other, for our families and for the generations that will come after us.
Lawmakers, like U.S. Rep. Linda Sanchez , have not only been fighting for workers’ rights in the halls of Congress but she also spent her career as an attorney fighting for workers’ rights.Labor activist turned state senator, Maria Elena Durazo, is another example of someone who spent decades organizing across workplaces and now negotiating in the state house on bills, like, which would extend occupational health and safety protections for domestic workers.
This fight belongs to all of us. No one person can drive the kind of massive change required to close the pay gap or implement the laws and workplace practices that actually level the playing field for the more than 12.8 million working Latinas.
