On Latina Women's Equal Pay Day, remember this: In NY, Latinas still make just 60¢ for every $1 a white man earns.

We need real solutions: Enforce pay transparency laws, expand paid leave, and ensure access to affordable childcare. It's time to close the gap.

⏰The NY Senate session ends this Thursday, June 12 — act now for pay equity!

S5990 (Ramos) / A5906 (Bores) will strengthen and expand NY's salary range law — helping us close the gender pay gap.

As we face national rollbacks on workers’ rights and rising economic uncertainty, our state leaders must act to ensure women’s work is valued and compensated fairly.

➡️ Contact your legislators TODAY and urge them to vote YES on S5990 / A5906:
