In Mississippi, the state with the worst wage gap for all workers with earnings, AANHPI women were paid just 51.3 cents per for every dollar paid to White men. Enough is enough! AANHPI women deserve more. #AANHPIEqualPay

The diversity of AANHPI women is wide ranging, and so are the wage gaps among some of the subgroups of AANHPI women as National Partnership highlighted in its research. #AANHPIEqualPay

AANHPI represents diverse communities facing challenges 🌍. With part-time & gig workers facing more inequality and lacking benefits like #PaidLeave, we must understand the true scope and fight for #AANHPIEqualPay with precision 🎯

A national disgrace—whether they lived in a state with a high or a low AANHPI population, AANHPI women were paid less than White men in every state. Learn more from IWPR at the link #AANHPIEqualPay app.sosha.ai/s/mOUVSpIp

Merging data for over 25 unique ethnic groups into one figure is overly simplistic 🧩. Such a method fails to capture the complex and nuanced picture needed to address wage inequality. Let's #DisaggregateData to truly understand the road to #AANHPIEqualPay!

The average figures mask the true extent of wage gaps for many AANHPI women 😔. For example, Bangladeshi & Nepalese American women make less than half of what white, non-Hispanic men earn. We must look beyond averages and address these urgent disparities 🚨. #AANHPIEqualPay

We need to correct the model minority myth and misconception that AANHPI women don’t need resources or support. To start, we need to look at the giant pay gaps that AANHPI ethnic groups face. #NotYourModelMinority #AANHPIEqualPay

For every $1 earned by white, non-Hispanic men, AANHPI women earn 80¢. This wage gap means less money to thrive, to support our families, and to use as a cushion for job loss and hard times. #AANHPIEqualPay

Combining data for over 25 unique ethnic groups in one number does not give you an accurate picture. We need to #DisaggregateData to get us closer to #AANHPIEqualPay.

If the #WageGap were eliminated, AANHPI women working in the U.S. would regain more than $11,000 that they lose to the wage gap every year. #AANHPIEqualPay app.sosha.ai/s/Ge5fG6da

AANHPI women are overrepresented in certain jobs – where they lose over $17,000 each year compared to white men in similar jobs. #AANHPIEqualPay app.sosha.ai/s/3B8xUrmk

Often times, the #WageGaps that AANHPI women face are overlooked because they’re held up as the “model minority” but individual accomplishments can’t overcome systemic racism. #AANHPIEqualPay #NotYourModelMinority app.sosha.ai/s/XVjTI45H

Student loan debt & the ability to afford a home or raise a family are big issues women face today. If the wage gap closed, AANHPI women could afford to pay off student loan debt in 39 months, make 7 months of mortgage payments or buy 15 months' worth of food. #AANHPIEqualPay

We know what drives the wage gap for #AANHPI women and moms, but we have real solutions at our fingertips! We need the #PaycheckFairnessAct so that women, moms, and families can thrive! #AANHPIEqualPay

AANHPI women need comprehensive equal pay policies, such as union representation, that would help break harmful patterns of pay discrimination and strengthen workplace protections for AANHPI women. #NotYourModelMinority #AANHPIEqualPay

AAPI communities need culturally accessible support more than ever. We urge the New York City Council to fund the 18% and Growing Coalition’s FY 26 priorities. #18PercentandGrowing #BudgetEquity Coalition for Asian American Children and Families
