Hochul keeps telling us she is committed to homecare, but her actions speak louder than words. Call Hochul. Ask her to back up her words with actions that show #CareNOTProfits #FairPayForHomecare
'We must recommit ourselves to breaking down barriers and advancing policies that guarantee every individual's talent and hard work are duly valued and compensated, regardless of their background or ethnicity.' - Office of Senator Kevin Thomas #AANHPIEqualPay #EqualPayNY
'As we work to advance economic mobility in Asian communities and promote equity across New York, it is critical that we take action to end wage inequality for Asian women.' - Assemblymember Grace Lee 李榮恩
#AANHPIEqualPay #EqualPayNY
Asian women in New York working full time, year-round earn only 86¢ for every dollar white, non-Hispanic men earn. I stand with AANHPI women in demanding #EqualPayNY . We must value women’s work & address the insufficient pay of workers! #AANHPIEqualPay
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 #EqualPayNY
'As the title AANHPI indicates, we are not one people, one country, not even one region. It is NOT RIGHT that Asian women working full or part time in New York earn only 70 cents to every dollar that a white non Hispanic man makes.' - Mary Luke #AANHPIEqualPay #EqualPayNY
'On the national level, data shows that Nepalese women make just 57¢ to every dollar a white, non-Hispanic man makes, Burmese women make 53¢, and Bhutanese women make 48¢ for every dollar. We support Equal Pay for every AANHPI woman.' - Asian American Federation #AANHPIEqualPay #EqualPayNY
“As an immigrant I know it is hard to start a new life, but I also know the power of people coming together for the promise of a fair chance. Let's work together to ensure that every woman receives equal pay for equal work.” - Westchester Women’s Agenda #AANHPIEqualPay #EqualPayNY
Abortion bans have always forced people to travel for care. For many, abortion access depends on your ability to pay for transportation & time off work. We need #AANHPIEqualPay and policies that guarantee repro justice so that we can make the best decisions for our families.
'It's unjustifiable that Nepalese women lose over $1.1 million or Bangladeshi women lose $733,000 compared to white, non-Hispanic men due to this disparity.' - Sakhi for South Asian Women #EqualPayNY #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
An average AANHPI woman who started working at the beginning of 2023 only caught up today to what a white, non-Hispanic man had made by December 31. But it takes NHPI women longer: she will catch up in August. #AANHPIEqualPay #DisaggregateData
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 !
'Working women in New York have not only faced extreme discrimination in the workplace but also in their paycheck.' - Senator Iwen Chu #EqualPayNY #AANHPIEqualPay
