This is not just inequity. It is a direct hit to working families and a lifetime loss that costs California women more than $350,000 in wages they earned but were never paid.

Equal pay is about fairness, economic security, and the basic promise that hard work should be valued equally.
I am fighting to close the wage gap and push back against all efforts to roll back pay transparency and accountability, because women cannot afford to wait any longer.
Today is Equal Pay Day — marking how far into 2026 women must work to catch up to what men earned in 2025. That gap is unacceptable.
Women still earn just 81 cents for every dollar paid to men, and the disparity is even worse for women of color, moms, and LGBTQ workers.
