Honor Native Women's Equal Pay Day with a commitment to fight for equal pay and recognition of the important contributions made by Indigenous women.
November 30 marks an important day for the advocacy of Native American women, as it is Native Women's Equal Pay Day. This special holiday serves as a reminder that despite many advances towards gender equality in the workplace, Native American women still experience wage disparities and other forms of discrimination. The event was first created to raise awareness about the issue and to encourage conversations about how we can ensure equal pay and better working conditions for all women. Let's come together to celebrate this day by supporting Native American women and advocating for stronger policies against workplace discrimination!

Native Women’s Equal Pay Day serves to raise awareness of the significant wage gap experienced by Native American women. Native American women earn, on average, 57 cents for every dollar earned by a White man and about 85 percent of what other American women make. This pay gap cannot be allowed to continue.
Celebrating Native Women’s Equal Pay Day is a way to recognize the contributions of Indigenous peoples in modern society. It acknowledges their unique history, culture, and struggles and upholds the values of respect for diversity, fair treatment, and equitable access to opportunity for all people.
Highlighting Native Women's Equal Pay Day can start important conversations and push policymakers to take action. By creating policies such as equal pay legislation, childcare subsidies, and better enforcement of labor laws that help address the wage gap can make meaningful change in the lives of Indigenous peoples.
