About this event
While on average, women earn 82¢ for every $1.00 men earn, women of color routinely experience much wider wage gaps due to the compounding effects of gender and racial discrimination. COVID-19 threatens to widen those disparities. Join us on #LatinaEqualPay Day, the last equal pay day of the year, for a virtual event with Chicago leaders on working women, COVID-19, and the racial and gender pay disparities that continue to exist in our country.
FEATURING:
Illinois State Rep. Anna Moeller;
Cherita Ellens, President and CEO of Women Employed;
Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton;
Linda Xóchitl Tortolero, President and CEO of Mujeres Latinas en Acción;
Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza;
Moderator: Kelly Saulsberry, Director of Policy and Outreach for the Chicago Commission on Human Rights.
