Black Women’s Equal Pay Day is the approximate day a Black woman must work into the new year to make what a white, non-Hispanic man made at the end of the previous year. Based on Census data from 2022, the wage gap for Black women compared to non-Hispanic white men is 67 cents for full time, year-round workers and 64 cents for all workers (including part time).

It is imperative we demand pay equity for Black women, many of who are leading their communities in organizing against police violence and systemic anti-Black racism– including where it shows up in the workplace.

A new study from Equal Rights Advocates shows over 50% of Black and Latinx struggled to make ends meet during the reign of the pandemic.
