#Latina equal pay day

[whenweallvote]

Today is Latina #EqualPayDay. On average, a Latina who works full time in the U.S. has to work until today — October 3rd — to earn what a white man was paid in the year prior. 🪙🙅🏽‍♀️💵

With 13.2 million Latinas in the U.S. labor force, we are a driving force in our economy and deserve to be paid equally for our work. The politicians WE elect have the power to implement policies to address wage gaps across industries. Register to vote right NOW at WeAll.Vote/register!

Today is #LatinaEqualPayDay.

Latinas only earn .54$ for a white man's 1$.

The gap between Latina pay and White Women pay is larger than the gap between White Men pay and White Women pay.

Latinas in the U.S. are paid 46% less than White Men and 26% less than White Women.

This issue doesn't only affect Latinas within the US, but extends globally especially in countries like Canada, the UK, and Spain.

Latina Equal Pay Day marks the date on the calendar year when Latinas finally make the same amount as White Men did last calendar year.

Latina Equal Pay Day used to be on October 21st, it has since moved to December 8th as the gap has increased.

How can we support Latinas in their struggle for equal pay?

Talk about it. Talk about our wage gaps, talk to your latine friends and colleagues about how much you are paid compared to how much they are.

Demand equal pay, attend marches organised by latinas. Apply pressure to your politicians.

Buy from Latina owned small businesses and support Latina owned businesses.

Donate to Latinas in need, there are plenty to find on sites such as Twitter and GoFundMe.

How Colorism fuels BW/WM swirls in media

I guess this is maybe a counterpoint/companion post to this one and the dialogue started with @theonlyamazingtazmin in the comments.

That post was an ask that black women set personal boundaries around how the ship and media about the ship is effecting our well being. But an equally important conversation is why do we so often have to look to interracial couples for a well written romance for dark skinned black women. While I'm cautious about the level in investment in these pairings, I cannot deny the appeal and why it's almost a default because of how much romance for dark skinned black woman is gate kept.

My initial remedy to this frustration of how we attach ourselves to this pairing was, we need to watch and support black romance and and black tv shows and movies. But a lot of the problem is in doing just that. I watched mostly black shows in my youth and the pattern was already established of me always seeing the dark skin woman alone or butch while the lighter girls had their pick.

My favorite show as a teen was A Different World. And as ground breaking as that show was in many respects I do have to call out the paradigm it reinforced. Dwayne was obsessed with Whitley, the whitest looking woman shown on campus, and he was the darkest man shown on campus. Ron liked her best friend, Millie, a light skin girl, after that wasn't a thing it was like so crazy that he ended up with Jaleesa. His mom (the fab Patti LaBelle) kept telling him to get with the dark skinned girl with the pretty teeth, but it was like he resisted vehemently beforehand. He does, but then ends up with biracial Freddy and Jaleesa ends up with an old man and becomes a stepmom as her best option.

Back when I had HBO (I only pay for one subscription at a time and my current roommates decided to do the Disney+ package, but I only end up watching Hulu) I watched Insecure but didn't finish. I'm curious to see what happened romantically with the characters. Did they follow the same playbook? I don't want to be spoiled because I hope to continue that show one day, so please don't tell me. But I remember in the precursor to this show, Awkward Black Girl, Issa's love interest was a like pretty average, kinda lame white guy. Her black crush never panned out. I kind of rooted for her and white boy but like not that enthusiastically. I just wanted her to be loved, so tried to be into it, but honestly was like, is this her best option? I didn't finish because it frustrated me that he was her best option. Personal note: I need to finish an Issa Rae show.

Fast forward to literally as of yesterday. I started watching Queen Sugar (Hulu tries to represent black shows and movies but the selections aren't the best, if anyoen has recs, please share) because I said I want to watch more black entertainment like I did in my youth. The most recent try before this was Atlanta and I just wasn't impressed. Come to find out how douchey Donald Glover is about black women and got turned off. Anyways, I did get invested in QS after a few episodes and even cried. So what turned me off a bit and I hope doesn't put me off the show? Spoiler alert: The darkest woman, Nova, is a white cop's mistress. This isn't revealed right away. It opens with them having a sensual morning after but for some reason despite him being hot, I felt ick. Like, I predicted there was something ick coming, and sure enough she's the long term side piece. Her fine af dark skinned brother's ex is a light skinned woman and there seems to be a mild flirtation with his son's Latina teacher. The light skinned sister is married to a man about her skin tone. The aunt who is medium skin tone has a husband darker than her. So it kind of reinforced the colorism and that Nova's only option out of everyone else has to be a white man, and a white man that can't fully commit to her at that.

Now, let me jump back to why I got so invested in Richonne. I know some people probably like does this girl only hardcore ship traumatized curly haired blue eyed white men with dark skinned black women? Not intentionally, haha! But that was the most epic love story I've seen with a black woman who looks anything like me. I wasn't even expecting to ship anything on that bleak ass show. Not my fault. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough? But yeah, when I reached my adult years I kind of got tired of looking for the romance I wanted to see, that represented me, in black media and being disappointed. Because the dark skinned girls didn't get the same love as the lighter ones (or they are lesbians but that's a whole other post). I'm not saying white media isn't guilty. It's just white media when they tend to give a dark skinned black woman a romance it's with a white man if she isn't alone or a lesbian, just like black shows, but the romance tends to be deeper if it's main plot point, or at least that's what I see in Richonne and Carmy x Sydney.

I think there is a good and bad side to this. On one hand yes, give it to me. On the other is it only palatable for a dark skinned black woman to get love in a show with a mixed cast with a white man because there is still and aversion to black love for these women? It's so complex. This is why when I wrote my Syd and Carmy fic I intentionally made her ex a dark skinned black man. Carmy is mad jealous of him. It's not a real love triangle, he just frames it as one because he's insecure of her highly successful, young Idris Elba looking almost fiance, who her dad loves and is a family friend. So, of course Carmy is in his feelings. Although Syd dated white guys I didn't want the strongest competition to be another white guy. And I have Syd speak to the lameness of these other white men on purpose, on multiple occasions. She was always kind of chasing a Carmy replica but not because they were white, it's because he imprinted on her. But she chased trying to be with her ex just as hard, but for different reasons and in a different way.

Anyways, I don't even know what to expect from media at this point because often what we see onscreen does reflect reality. I'll describe myself. I'm a petite, slim curvy girl, cocoa complexion, kinky curly who often gets that "so pretty for a black girl" type compliment in the black community and from racist white people. My dating history has been mixed and mostly white (two Asians also in the mix) in my latter years by default. When I was in high school the few black boys (I went to a mostly white school) chased the white, Latina, or light skinned girls. And the few that were interested were not desirable trouble makers. One was so bad he verbally abused me in front of people consistently and then I found out he had a crush one me. No thanks, red flags galore. The first somewhat decent boy that was interested and actually knew me was my white boy best friend who tried to make a move one day. I wasn't interested, didn't see it coming, but it started a pattern. I just wanted to be his bestie because we were both film geeks, had family trauma, were loners, smoked weed, and were in theater together. It's so funny because he was a dead ringer for Leonardo Dicaprio and all the white girls swooned for him and I was like eh (never thought Leo was all that). So, no, I didn't view him as a prize romantically. But this same type thing continued with white guy friends secretly having a crush and me like not being that excited. But one day I did like one, gave it a try, and was like, ok cool, I can try this. And since then I get way more interest from white men than black men.

*Caveat, I'm currently single and don't think race has any influence on quality of men. My long term Asian ex was the worst boyfriend of my life and I'm still traumatized. Long story.

So should I be this surprised that media reflects my same experience? I don't know what the solution is going forward. Like, will media change and influence society or does society need to change to influence media?

Modern Successes of Tejana entrepreneurship- a look into the current landscape

Female celebrities of Latin descent wear JZD's iconic 'Pink Latina Power Tee', a Tejana made brand, in order to support the Phenomenal Women Action Campaign. All of these pictures were posted on social media during Latina Equal Pay Day in order to spread awareness on the wage disparity between Latina women compared to white men and together served as call to action to address and make steps to deal with the pay gap.

Veronica Vasquez and Jennifer Serrano are pictured above as they are the Tejana founders behind the company and JZD lifestyle brand. Amidst the uncertainty and polarization surrounding the election, the entrepreneurial couple found the inspiration for their first successful product, the 'Pink Latina Power Tee', seeking to remind themselves and others of their own personal power sparking a new wave of Latina empowerment into the mainstream.

#thursday Today is Latina Equal Pay Day-let’s talk about why the date moved, why the amount decreased and why the Latina workforce was hit hardest during the pandemic. Let’s also talk about the unpaid labor Latinas and women overall put in and never get a dollar for-like mothering, domestic leadership, caretaking (!) only to be met with resentment and shame when they speak up about it. My ancestors’ greatest dream is for me to stick it to the macho bs patriarchy for generations of women in my family and that’s exactly what I’m doing. ✊🏽✨🧾 #thursdaymotivation #thursdayvibes #thursdaythoughts #latinaequalpayday #equalpay #latina #latinas #latinx (at East Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6ijlGpzk5z582IombFVwH8ZMseNkjRuJIK_40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s #EqualPayDay and if one thing is for sure, we deserve the whole cake! On average, women make $0.84 for every dollar a white, non-Hispanic man earns. #EqualPayDay marks how far into the next year women must work to earn what men did in 2022 alone. And over the course of our careers? That adds up to a loss of $407,760. For women of color, the loss is closer to $1 million. The #wagegap impacts not only women, but children, families, communities, and our entire economy. It’s also important to recognize that Equal Pay Day is not the same for every woman in the U.S. Below, you can find all other Equal Pay dates listed by demographic: • March 14, 2023 | All Women (average) • Date TBD | Asian American & Pacific Islander Women • July 27, 2023 | Black Women • October 5, 2023 | Latina Women • November 30, 2022 | Native American Women https://www.instagram.com/p/CpyYsfcvd3y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Survey finds 67% of European women in tech feel under-paid compared to men, half experience sexism – TechCrunch

This pay gap is even bigger for Black and Hispanic women, where Black women were found to earn over 63% less than white men, and Hispanic or Latina women 57.3% less. In survey after survey, this blatant sexism is continually proved…

Annual Latina Pay Gap Report Now Includes Part-Time Workers

Annual Latina Pay Gap Report Now Includes Part-Time Workers

Across many industries, including marketing and advertising, the gender pay gap remains a looming issue—especially for Latina women. In response, Justice for Migrant Women, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing migrant women’s rights through advocacy, marks every Dec. 8 as Latina Equal Pay Day. As a way to advocate and spread awareness, Justice for Migrant Women launched the “Viva La Mujer Que…

As we soberly acknowledge at the moment as Latina Equal Pay Day — highlighting the truth that Latinas on common earn simply 51 cents to each greenback earned by their white male counterparts — let’s not simply speak in regards to the want for stronger equal pay legal guidelines, however about how our current equal pay legal guidelines are being enforced, or not. The fact is that employers are thwarting our equal pay legal guidelines by way of an more and more frequent technique — compelled arbitration. Compelled arbitration is a time period of employment usually buried within the small print of worker handbooks and employment contracts that bars employees from taking their claims to court docket or perhaps a state company. In different phrases, as a situation of employment, employees “agree” to waive their enforcement rights underneath our equal pay legal guidelines (and another employment legislation). As a substitute, employees should take their criticism to an arbitration firm the place a non-public decide — usually paid by the employer — decides their case.   After California enacted the Honest Pay Act in 2015, employers have been brazenly suggested to make use of compelled arbitration to keep away from legal responsibility. Unsurprisingly, using compelled arbitration has continued to rise and by 2024, it's forecasted that over 80 % of private-sector, non-union employees can be certain by a compelled arbitration settlement.The damaging affect of compelled arbitration on the pay hole is three-fold. First, it's usually inconceivable to evaluate or treatment systemic pay discrimination by way of non-public arbitration. Compelled arbitration agreements sometimes bar employees from bringing their claims collectively, so slightly than difficult pay practices as a bunch or a category, employees should arbitrate their declare individually. This piecemeal strategy shouldn't be solely inefficient, it's ineffective as a result of particular person arbitrations solely present treatments for the person worker. By comparability, class actions assault and treatment unlawful pay practices for all affected workers.  For instance, earlier this 12 months, the California Civil Rights Division, the California Division of Labor Requirements Enforcement and personal counsel reached a $100 million settlement with Riot Video games for claims together with systemic pay and intercourse discrimination. Many of the ladies on this case had signed arbitration agreements and would have needed to every individually convey their declare in arbitration. It was solely as a result of state companies took on the case that the claims could possibly be introduced in court docket. Consequently, the ladies obtained complete office reforms and ongoing impartial skilled evaluation of pay, hiring, and promotion practices. This sort of systemic aid would by no means have been awarded by way of particular person arbitration. And, importantly, the illegal pay discrimination would by no means have been made public due to the second pernicious function of compelled arbitration — secrecy. Compelled arbitration sometimes requires employees to be certain by confidentiality. On the top of the #MeToo motion, compelled arbitration was uncovered as a key device corporations use to hide sexual harassment complaints. Corporations are possible motivated to equally conceal any equal pay complaints. And what we all know from the #MeToo motion is that when employees’ claims are shunted into arbitration, and privately resolved, there isn't a public consciousness or accountability to make sure that corporations are taking motion to handle the bigger downside. Third and at last, compelled arbitration is inherently designed to favor employers. The non-public resolution makers are sometimes paid for by the employers and lots of employers are repeat gamers. As one protection legal professional put it, “I exploit the identical arbitrators time and again, and so they receives a commission after I decide them. They know the place their bread and butter comes from.” In 2020, solely 4.1% of shoppers and employees received in arbitration. As described in a latest report by the American Affiliation for Justice, extra individuals climb to the highest of Mount Everest in a 12 months than win their arbitration case. An open, unfiltered web could possibly be the important thing to toppling autocrats Local weather nervousness isn’t the enemy: Embracing it can velocity changeNot solely is there well-documented bias favoring employers in arbitration, however arbitrators are additionally principally white and male — the demographic that makes the total greenback to everybody else’s change. Within the newest demographic survey of the 2 largest arbitration corporations, JAMS and AAA, over 70 % of arbitrators have been male and about 88 % have been white. On Latina Equal Pay Day, let’s not simply demand stronger legal guidelines and higher insurance policies, let’s demand our proper to implement them. Congress should go the Compelled Arbitration Injustice Repeal (FAIR) Act now to make sure our equal pay legal guidelines are significant and efficient. Jessica Ramey Stender is the Coverage Director & Deputy Authorized Director at Equal Rights Advocates, which advocates for gender justice within the office and faculties.
