Join PowHerNY for our 15th Annual Equal Pay Day celebration!
Women and families across the state were left more vulnerable to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic because of the wage gap. This year we are gathering virtually to envision an equitable recovery that supports all New York women and families who have been impacted this past year, especially those of color. Join PowHerNY in calling for long lasting change and inclusive gender justice for all by attending our events throughout the day and making your voice heard on social media.
Roads to Women’s Economic Recovery and Future
March 24, 2021 | 9:00AM EST
How can New York support women’s equitable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and create long lasting change?
Join NYS Attorney General Letitia James and PowHerTM New York to explore the progress made to-date and the new challenges ahead for women’s economic stability. Experts will discuss historic pay inequity in low-wage jobs, the devaluing of women’s work, new opportunities for higher wage jobs, and policies to increase employer accountability and transparency. All of these solutions can profoundly influence the economic well-being of women, especially women of color, in the recovery and beyond.

- Beverly Neufeld, President of PowHerNY
