Latina women who work full time, year-round, and part time earn only 53 cents for every $1 earned by a white male.

This #LatinaEqualPayDay and every day, we recognize our power to fight for a more just future where every woman is paid fairly and able to achieve economic security.

“Corporations reinvented the ripoff right under our noses, and we’re all paying the price.”

I returned to Syria and saw something remarkable: women are leading the country's recovery.

From rebuilding livelihoods to supporting communities, their resilience is shaping Syria's future.

I just returned from Syria and Lebanon. It's hard to find words to describe what I saw and heard from communities rebuilding their lives amid conflict, displacement, and uncertainty. But one thing is clear: the headlines do not capture the reality that people live every day. 🧵
