WAGE Clubs and Equal Pay Day

With Equal Pay Day approaching on April 24, AAUW has joined forces with The WAGE Project (http://www.wageproject.org/) and other coalition partners to promote WAGE Clubs, a grassroots effort designed to help close the wage gap and get women treated and paid fairly at work. They are groups of 5-10 women who come together in a safe place where they can obtain support from other women as they share personal stories about sex discrimination at work, gather information, build allies, then go to the top to create change in their workplaces and communities. AAUW branches are encouraged to join this effort by committing to launch WAGE Clubs in their communities and their workplaces. Information about how to start a WAGE Club can be found in the AAUW Pay Equity Resource Kit along with other resources to fight for pay equity.
