IF congress doesn't pass the +Lilly Ledbetter Paycheck Fairness Act this year, if our government fails to make equal pay for men and women the law of the land this year, it would be a dream come true to see women organize, nation wide, and hit the corporations who are directing the politicians who are keeping this from becoming law by boycotting Black Friday and the entire weekend. Money talks, and if women just had the courage to put aside all their other differences for just one three day weekend in November and united in a boycott of all shopping for the entire weekend I bet just the threat of it would get congress to act. Right now we can all help put pressure on congress to pass this bill by signing this petition. Click the link, and then start the discussion of a 2014 Black Friday boycott....
Please join Daily Kos and the National Partnership for Women & Families in urging Congress to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act. Click here to sign the petition.
In honor of Equal Pay Day coming up in a few weeks, the National Partnership for Women & Families is working to remind the country about how badly the wage gap hurts women and their families.
Women who work full time, year-round in this country are still paid about 77 cents for every dollar paid to men. That’s groceries hardworking women can’t afford to buy, rent they can’t pay, and gasoline they can’t put in their cars. The Paycheck Fairness Act would close loopholes in current law to stop wage discrimination and promote fair pay.
Every member of Congress should support this bill.
The National Partnership has been responsible for some landmark victories over the years -- including the passage of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, key provisions in Obamacare, and so much more. Let's help add the Paycheck Fairness Act to that list.
Help convince Congress to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act.
Keep fighting,
Rachel Colyer
Campaign Director, Daily Kos
