@nilc.orgToday, on #LatinaEqualPayDay, remember that Latina women earn only 53 cents for every $1 earned by a white male.
We must stand for a future where every woman is paid fairly, free from discrimination, and able to achieve economic security. Equal pay is a matter of fairness, dignity, and justice.
@nilc.orgWe obtained a military document that appears to show an additional violation of the Posse Comitatus Act by the Trump admin during last summer's deployment of federalized National Guard in CA.
