🗣️ Native women are and have always been on the frontlines of our country's economic struggles. So when events like a government shutdown happen and programs like SNAP and healthcare benefits are cut, it's Native women who feel the impact the most. It may take some Native families years to recoup lost earnings and regain financial stability compared to families that earn more simply because of their racial identity and sex. Today is Native Women's Equal Pay Day and we are urging Congress to pass policies that close the wage gap for Native American women, one of the fastest-growing populations in the country. Equal pay is long overdue! equalpay2dayorg #NativeWomensEqualPayDay #NWEPD #FairWages #WageDiscrimination
