A split image honoring the 61st anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The left side features a black-and-white photo of civil rights protesters and newspaper headlines from 1964. Overlaid text reads: “Civil Rights Act of 1964 – 61 Years”. The right side shows a modern color photo from 2025 of YWCA advocates at a rally holding signs that say “Stand Up for Social Justice” and “Eliminate Racism.” The years "1964" and "2025" are labeled in orange in the bottom corners.
The Civil Rights Act didn't just change laws — it changed lives. Today, we honor the leaders, organizers, and everyday people who risked everything to make justice a reality. ✊🏾 Their fight continues in our mission to eliminate racism and empower women. #CivilRightsActAnniversary #OneYWCA #YWCACbus
Blue background visual for LGBTQ+ Equal Pay Awareness Day. Text reads: "Close the wage gap. Support LGBTQ+ equality. 78% of LGBTQ+ voices say its time to make pay equity a top priority."
Today is #LGBTQEqualPayDay, marking the approx. date THIS year LGBTQ+ workers needed to work to earn the equivalent of what a non-queer, cisgendered person earned in 2024.
We need policies that close the wage gap so that work done = pay earned, regardless of our identities.
