This week, the U.S. House will vote on the SAVE Act (H.R. 22). If enacted, this bill will silence the voices of tens of millions of voters under the guise of preventing voter fraud, which is exceptionally rare. Disabled Americans, voters of color, Tribal voters, and anyone who’s changed their name – married people (mostly women), transgender voters, and survivors of intimate partner and sexual violence or stalking, will all either be unable to vote or will face significantly more barriers. Take action NOW.

Research from YWCA USA found that an overwhelming 94% of women of color - across age, race and ethnicity, and the political spectrum – want lawmakers to take action to strengthen pay equity laws. It's time for action. #AANHPIEqualPayDay #YWomenVote #ONEYWCA

ON AANHPI Equal Pay Day, we call on Congress to close loopholes in our current fair pay laws that are critical to closing the gender #WageGap, including anti-retaliation job protections. Legislators: Pass the PFA without delay! #AANHPIEqualPayDAY #ONEYWCA

On #AANHPIEqualPayDay, we highlight the persistent wage gap impacting Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women. While the average earnings show a 92-cent gap, many AANHPI women earn far less, facing barriers to pay equity due to racial and gender biases. #ONEYWCA
