What if you found out you were owed $10,622?

There’s a $10,622 gap between the median yearly earnings of men and women. For many women and their families, fixing the wage gap would mean enough for a year’s supply of groceries, three months of rent or child care, six months of health insurance, and more.

What would it mean to you? Send us a photo that shows how $10,622 would improve your life!

And on June 10 we’ll mark the anniversary of the Equal Pay Act by sending those photos to Congress and urging it to move quickly to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act. We’ll also display a selection of photos on our website.

Submit your photo today and join the conversation on the importance of fair pay for women and their families.

Sincerely, Fatima Goss Graves Vice President for Education and Employment National Women’s Law Center
