On September 18, we recognize #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay. For every $1 paid to nondisabled men, disabled women working full time, part time, or part year bring home just 50 cents. This pay gap is rooted in ableism and must end. Join us in the fight for #DisabledWomensEPD

Today is the very first #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay! And while it’s good news that we are highlighting disabled women workers for all that they do, it stinks that we have to also talk about this enormous pay gap. npwf.info/4dUsdC0

The pay gap is wider for disabled women of color. Intersectional sexism, racism, and ableism mean they’re paid even less than nondisabled men. We need equal pay now to lift disabled women out of poverty. #DisabledWomensEqualPayDay #DisabledWomensEPD npwf.info/4dUsdC0
