Equal Pay Day with Lilly Ledbetter

Commemorating the 15th anniversary of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the fight for equal pay and gender equity remains as urgent as ever. Enacted in 2009, this landmark legislation was a pivotal moment in the ongoing battle against gender-based pay discrimination. Yet, despite the strides we've made, the journey towards pay equity is far from complete. On Equal Pay Day, we will come together (in person and virtually) to not only celebrate past achievements but also to confront the obstacles that with progress, solutions, and action, we can overcome.

Hosted by Gender Fair, the Lilly Social Action Campaign, and sparks & honey, this Equal Pay Day panel session will bring together advocates, experts, and community members to shed light on the enduring significance of Equal Pay Day and to explore avenues for further action. Against the backdrop of Lilly Ledbetter's courageous battle for justice, we are reminded of the pervasive nature of pay inequity and the urgent need for systemic change.

We are honored to have Lilly Ledbetter herself join us, offering her insights on the significance of this day and sharing her personal reflections on the gender pay gap. Ledbetter's unwavering determination serves as a beacon of inspiration as we navigate the road ahead.
