Ford Foundation President Heather Gerken’s vision of strengthening democratic values, protecting fundamental freedoms, and building inclusive economies speaks directly to the work our movement has been doing for more than two decades.

What does it take to win policies that put working families first—even when the odds are stacked against you? Join us on 10/22 at 12:30pm ET for an inspiring conversation with Family Values @ Work network leaders from D.C. and Minnesota. #paidleaveforall #careinamerica
📣The same forces that deny Latinas equal pay also deny workers #PaidLeave and #PaidSickDays. America can do better for workers.🛠️ No worker should labor knowing that they are valued less than others doing the same work and with the same qualifications. #LatinaEqualPay
Latina work is worth more than 60 cents of the dollar their white counterparts earn for the same work, #EqualPayDay #PowerPayProgress #Trabajadoras
El trabajo de las latinas vale más que 60 centavos del dólar que ganan sus homólogos blancos por el mismo trabajo.
Latinas are paid, on average, 53 cents to every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. This number includes all Latinas with reported earnings, like part-time, seasonal, and migrant workers. This is not ok. Equal pay for equal work. #PowerPayProgress #Trabajadoras
🌈Queer Latinas are victims of unequal pay. Denying Latinx workers #PaidLeave compounds the poverty that paycheck disparity creates. #LatinaEqualPay
Las latinas queer son víctimas de salarios desiguales.
Latinas need to work up to October 8 -- that's an extra 10 months -- in order to earn what their white male counterpart (with same the qualifications) earned last year. That is not equal pay, we can do better in America! #LatinaEqualPay #Trabajadoras
Latina equal pay day is 10/8 👀 but let’s be clear, Latinas getting just 60 cents📉 on the white male dollar is the national average for Latinas – but the gap is BIGGER in places like Alabama! #LatinaEqualPay #Trabajadoras
Are workers rights under threat? What rights do workers have that they sometimes do not realize? Join us for a lively conversation with organizers from the Principles for Worker Liberation Project -- presented by Family Values @ Work Thursday, 10/1 @ 12:30 pm
Trillions in value. Zero dollars in wages. Too little investment in care.

Wage gaps make it difficult–if not impossible–for families to provide safe, healthy environments and futures for their children. We must achieve #equalpay across the United States and its territories for every family. ❤️
Unequal pay and lost wages affect Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders ability to retire and their family’s future. To make matters worse, these women lack access to jobs with paid family or even sick time. It’s time to protect our workforce with #equalpay and #timetocare.
It is not enough to talk about how women in Hawaii and the Pacific Islands are being paid 67 cents to the dollar for the same work and with the same qualifications as white males, we need action to end wage discrimination. #EqualPay
Today, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women have finally reached the earnings of white non-Hispanic males from last year. No, 67 cents to the dollar us unacceptable. This is just a small example of the inequality women of the NHPI ancestry face in the workplace💔 #EqualPay
The 67¢ earned by NHPI women for every $1 earned by white, non-Hispanic men reveals a painful inequality. This income disparity compounds over time, impacting the ability to support families and create a financial safety net for unforeseen challenges. #EqualPay
#BackToSchool can also mean getting the call: your child is sick. Too many caregivers fear answering because missing work to care for a child can mean losing pay--or even a job.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Everyone deserves access to a paid sick and safe time policy.
Paid leave makes it possible to take time to give and receive care. We've won this policy in 14 states and DC - that's just the beginning! Let's go FV@W Network!
Today, 7/21 10am PT/1pm ET Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE) and Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC), Melanie L. Campbell, Cherita Ellens, Jocelyn Frye, Cassandra Welchlin, discuss #BlackWomensEqualPayDay join at bit.ly/DemocracyPays
We mean it when we say we're stronger together--that's how we protected DC paid leave, and that's how we're going to win for families in other states. #careforall
🗣️ 🗣️ EEO-1 data collections are NOT new. They have been utilized by both Democratic and Republican administrations since the 1960s to ensure workplace fairness. They are vital, non-partisan tools for accountability. We must protect them. #LGBTQEqualPay #PrideInYourPay
