The Fair Pay Campaign

Update: On April 23, the Senate voted on a motion to advance the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, a key bill that would have a major impact on the lives of women who've been subject to pay discrimination. While we didn't get the 60 votes necessary to move to the next big step - scheduling a debate and vote on the bill itself - the fight isn't over. Tell your Senators the bill deserves fair consideration on the Senate floor.

The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act: Women in the United States are still paid only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. For women of color, the numbers are even worse - African American women earn 63 cents and Latinas earn 52 cents for every dollar paid to white men.
