We need your help to pass the CREEP Act! This act creates a new civil anti-stalking order of protection, allowing courts to more quickly and easily protect victims of stalking and harassment both online and offline, regardless of relationship.  #CREEP #CREEPAct

Yesterday, we submitted a public comment opposing a proposed rule from the Department of Energy. This rule would roll back an important anti-discrimination protection that helps ensure women and girls have equal opportunities in education. #PublicComment #Comment #DFR

The pay gap still exists. LGBTQIA+ individuals continue to face wage inequalities. Wage equity means more than just a paycheck—it also means fair access to benefits like paid leave and workplaces where everyone is safe, seen, and supported. #LGBTQ+ #equalpay #LGBTQIA+ #Pride

Tomorrow, June 19, we commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in 1865. Juneteenth is both a reflection on the enduring resilience of Black communities in the face of systemic racism and also a celebration of their achievements and invaluable contributions. #Juneteenth

This essential civil rights law has helped protect pregnant students, support survivors of harassment, open doors for women and girls in sports, and more. We will continue fighting for ALL students in pursuit of Title IX's promise of equity in education. #ProtectTitleIX #TitleIX

The Dobbs v. Jackson decision stripped millions of their right to essential healthcare–care that should be safe, accessible, and protected. We stand firm in our commitment to fighting for reproductive justice. #ReproductiveJustice #healthcare #RoevWade

For Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, we highlight the persistent wage gap that still exists. This wage disparity is not only detrimental to black women, but their families as well. #Equalpayday #payequity #EconomicJustice

In 1967, Black women were paid 43 cents for every dollar white, non-Hispanic men were paid. 56 years later, Black women still face a wage gap. This is unacceptable. PowHerNY #Equalpayday #payequity #EconomicJustice
