💰 National Indigenous Women’s Equal Pay Day:

Why It Matters 

Observed annually on November 30, National Indigenous Women’s Equal Pay Day highlights the significant wage gap faced by Indigenous women in the United States. On average, Indigenous women earn just $0.51 for every dollar earned by non-Hispanic white men. This wage disparity impacts their financial security, well-being, and the futures of their families and communities. This day aims to raise awareness and advocate for policies that promote pay equity.

Why It’s Important & Who It Affects

The wage gap is not just a statistic—it has real impacts on the lives of Indigenous women and their families. This day draws attention to the intersection of race and gender discrimination in pay practices and challenges employers to take a closer look at their policies. By acknowledging this gap, we can advocate for transparent pay practices and fair compensation for everyone.

Inclusive Celebration Idea 💡

One way to observe this day is to host a pay equity workshop. Invite speakers or experts to discuss the wage gap and brainstorm actionable steps towards achieving equal pay. This can be a powerful opportunity to educate employees and decision-makers on closing this gap.
