Jennifer Reisch, Legal Director of Equal Rights Advocates will discuss Equal Pay and the Gender Wage Gap. Jennifer directs ERA’s efforts to seek equality and justice for women and girls in schools and workplaces across the country. She manages a team of dedicated attorneys, law fellows, and law clerks who make an impact through litigation and direct legal services, bold policy reform initiatives, and innovative community education and outreach campaigns. Jennifer helped pass the strongest equal pay law in the nation, the CA Fair Pay Act of 2015 (SB 358). Learn and network with like-minded others! (415 Lean In group)
For every $1 all men make, all women in the U.S. are paid 80 cents on average, and it's even worse for Black and Hispanic women. Women are missing out on a fifth of their rightful earnings. Add this up over the course of a career and the financial implications are staggering. If a young woman graduates from high school and goes straight to work at $20,000 a year, she will make $700,000 less than the young man graduating with her over the course of her lifetime. Let's change this!
