Today is Equal Pay Day, which means it takes 14.5 months for the average working woman to bring in what the average working man earns in 12. The wage gap between men and women is an affront to values of fairness and equality — and it’s even greater for most women of color. #US

A shock. A sadness. A great loss. The passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg leaves a hole in a nation already reeling. She is an American hero, in every sense. We can honor her by joining to carry forth her legacy of equality, empathy, and justice. May she Rest in Peace.
Republicans are the party of LIBERTY, EQUALITY and JUSTICE for ALL. We are the Party of Abraham Lincoln and the party of LAW AND ORDER!
Defeating White supremacy without White people creates Black supremacy. Equality is the truth. Like it or not, we are all in this together.
