Today is Equal Pay Day, a day later than last year. It is the day to which women must work to earn the same as men did working to Dec 31 last year. Women earn 81 cents for every dollar men earn. Down from 83 cents a year ago, and 84 cents the year prior.

I don't think it's ever too late to get involved in social justice work.

Congratulations and thank you for all that you do
