Election 2020: Women Running for Office

On  President’s Day, we celebrated the record number of women who are seeking the highest office in the land this election cycle: Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and Marianne Williamson.

Women & Labor

On Labor Day, we recognized women who have long fought for equal opportunities and protections in the American economy. From Suffragettes to early labor activists, from civil rights leaders outspoken public figures to contemporary politicians, these women have shaped the landscape of labor in the U.S. To honor their achievements, we’ve compiled a timeline highlighting key events from 1920 to 1965, when a wave of progress was made for women at work. 

Women’s History Month

Black History Month

During Black History Month, we paid tribute to the generations of Black women who have helped shape the #MeToo movement. These women remind us of how far we’ve come in the fight to end sexual harassment — and how far we still have to go.

Equal Pay Day

On Equal Pay Day — the day up to which the typical woman must work in a particular year to catch up with what the average man earned the previous year — we honored equal pay trailblazer Lilly Ledbetter. Ledbetter’s story underscores the inextricable link between pay inequity and workplace sexual harassment.  At  80-years old, Ledbetter continues to work tirelessly to create fair and safe workplaces across the country.

Ledbetter’s story transcends the fight for equal pay: in the wake of the #MeToo movement, we are reminded that cultures of silence – ones that are both legally and culturally reinforced — have the ability to stall, stunt and end careers. More importantly, it is a prologue to what must become a higher standard for transparency, accountability and equality in workplaces across the country.

” data-lightbox-theme=”dark”> Twenty years ago, Goodyear tire plant manager Lilly Ledbetter came to work one morning to find an anonymous note in her mailbox: it listed her salary, which was a fraction of what other male managers at Goodyear were making. Until this moment, Ledbetter was entirely unaware of her salary difference. Upon being hired, she had signed an agreement that prohibited her from discussing pay with her coworkers, effectively silencing her employer’s discriminatory pay practices. As a silence-breaker of her time, Ledbetter courageously brought her case to the Supreme Court. She became the champion of what would become a national movement for equal pay. Ledbetter’s story transcends the fight for equal pay: in the wake of the #MeToo movement, we are reminded that cultures of silence – ones that are both legally and culturally reinforced -- have the ability to stall, stunt and end careers.
