ADDRESS EQUAL PAY

REUNITE FAMILIES


Congress can and should move America forward while tackling the damage of the Trump administration by addressing the gender pay gap and ending family separation.

Congress must pass the Paycheck Fairness Act.  In America, women get paid 80 cents for every dollar men are paid.  This disparity is magnified for women of color, with black women making 61 cents and Latina women making 53 cents for every dollar men are paid.

The Paycheck Fairness Act would:

  • Make it safe to discuss wages
  • Take salary history out of the process
  • Make it harder to justify pay discrepancies

 

Congress must end family separation. Willfully ignoring evidence that family separation is traumatic, and defying court orders to end the practice, the lawless Trump regime continues to separate families, including taking infants away from their loved ones. Congress must pass the Keep Families Together Act and the REUNITE Act to end these human rights abuses.

Keep Families Together Act!

REUNITE Act!

Paycheck Fairness Act!

. . . I want Congress to help address the gender pay gap and end family separation. I ask the Senator to:

Thank you.”

**ACTION TWO: CALL COMPLICIT GREG WALDEN**

SAMPLE SCRIPT FOR WALDEN:

“My name is [–] and I’m a constituent from [town/city], Oregon [zip code]. I am calling because . . .

. . . I want Congress to help address the gender pay gap and end family separation. I ask Greg Walden to co-sponsor the Paycheck Fairness Act, the Keep Families Together Act and the Reunite Act.  I ask that he do all he can to get these three bills passed this session.

As a Republican loyalist—always putting party before country—Greg Walden has been representing his corporate donors more than his constituents. Will he do the right thing in this instance and work to help WE THE PEOPLE? #2020Starts Now. Thank you.”
