Signature Event
EQUAL PAY DAY
April 22 , 2008
 |
|
Each year, BPW/USA
members and advocates across the country organize Equal Pay Day activities and
events in April to bring attention to the issue of pay equity. Equal Pay Day is
held annually in April to signify the point into a year that a woman must work
to earn what a man made the previous year. According to the 2006 Census Bureau,
women on average earn 77 cents for every dollar paid to their male counterparts.
For women of color, the wage gap worsens: African American women make 66 cents,
Latinas make 55 cents and Asian American women make 80 cents. |

START:
Pick a topic, have members shout out all ideas and one
person writes down every answer. The more outrageous the better
because what may seem impossible could be modified and put into
action.
This is fun, energizing, and a great way to come up with new
ideas.
