It’s time to close the wage gap. For every dollar white men earn, Black women are paid significantly less. This disparity has deep roots, but together we can make a difference. Let’s work towards equal pay for all. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay

#BlackWomensEqualPayDay is here and it’s not a celebration. It’s a reminder that Black women are still paid less and valued less. We had to work seven extra months to catch up to what white men made last year. Enough is enough.

CLASP opposes the Work Participation Rate (WPR) because it's rooted in racist assumptions that people must be forced to work. It doesn't measure what helps families succeed—like education, training, or mental health support. brnw.ch/21wU0Wa

CLASP_DC's tweet card. After nixing a list of states chosen by the Biden administration, Trump officials are relaunching a pilot on measuring the TANF program

The House just passed the devastating budget reconciliation bill. Trump is expected to sign it tomorrow. This bill guts support for families with low incomes, immigrants, workers, women & children. But CLASP is fighting back—our work is just beginning. clasp.org/press-room/pre…

CLASP_DC's tweet card. Our fight to ensure the dignity, security, and well-being of those who have been most marginalized is far from over, and CLASP is ready to meet the moment.

It's time for all Pennsylvania workers to be able to care for their families with paid leave, and a big win is right within reach. Along with more than 80% of voters in the Commonwealth, we support paid leave in Pennsylvania. Let's get it done.
