April 12 Is Equal Pay Day!
There's still time to plan for Equal Pay Day! Check out the AAUW Member Showcase calendar to see what other members are doing. You can also request materials for your event and tell us what you're doing — and even send us photos and news clippings. Equal Pay Day comes just once a year, but educating others about pay equity can — and should — happen every day until men and women are paid equally!
