LGBTQIA workers earn about 90 cents on the dollar compared to their heterosexual and cisgender peers. Join our efforts to close the pay gap by signing the Equal Pay Pledge: women.ca.gov/about-the-pay-e… #EqualPayDay #EqualPayCA

Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, has faced scrutiny over his personal life, particularly regarding his relationships. He stole his best friends wife! The most notable scandal involves an affair with his former aide, Ruby Rippey Gibney, which occurred while he was still married to his first wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle. Ruby Rippey Gibney, was married to his best friend and former campaign manager, Alex Tourk. His newest wife, the First Partner of California (pretensious or what!), has launched initiatives aimed at promoting gender equity and healthy childhood development. Her advocacy/grant writing and funded work includes campaigns like #EqualPayCA and California For All Women... And she has made millions of dollars from CA grants underwritten by Newsom!

Let’s close the gender wage and wealth gaps and normalize pay equity. Tell the companies you buy from to sign the California Equal Pay Pledge, and do their part to close the gap. #EqualPayCA #LatinaEqualPayDay gov.ca.gov/about/first-partn…

Contributors to the gender wage gap include: overrepresentation of women in industries society undervalues, workplace discrimination, women shouldering the majority of unpaid care work, a lack of pay transparency, & bias in promotion & leadership opportunities. #EqualPayCA #LatinaEqualPayDay

Latinas in the U.S. are paid, on average, just 51 cents for every dollar paid to white men. #EqualPayCA #LatinaEqualPayDay

This fight for pay equity is about more than fairness - it’s about our ability to do our jobs effectively as public servants, and it's about time THIS governor and legislature course correct for the future of our remarkably diverse state and its people. #EqualPayCA

Yesterday, CAPS-UAW members delivered our photo petition, signed by a majority of all rank-and-file State Scientists, demanding a fair contract. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists

Today, CAPS-UAW members delivered our photo petition, signed by a majority of all rank-and-file State Scientists, demanding a fair contract. Photo Petitions were delivered to @GavinNewsom’s office and five Agency Secretaries. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists

I rent, and have to have housemates to afford living in Sacramento. I want to afford to live in Sacramento long-term, but the salaries State Scientists are being offered aren't enough to provide a path to home ownership or stability in the region. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists

I also frequently think about the climate catastrophe that my future children will inherit. If we are unable to fairly pay the State Scientists at the forefront of this work, will our best minds leave for other sectors? #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists

I am constantly overwhelmed, exhausted, and concerned for my safety but I can't afford to change anything unless the gender pay gap is remedied. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists

I reduced my timebase at my State job to make time to work a second, higher-paying job so I can make ends-meet for my family. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists

Last night, over 1,000 rank-and-file CAPS-UAW members showed up to our Membership Meeting at 16 different locations all over California, and virtually, to discuss and determine our next move at the Bargaining Table! #EqualPayCA

Minding the Gaps: Pay Equity in California They should do such an analysis in California state civil service. @JenSiebelNewsom pay equity pledge was signed, but little to nothing has been done to narrow the race & gender pay gap ⁦#equalpayca medium.com/@dlab-berkeley/mi…

Success as a State employee shouldn't hinge on having a partner for financial support or cobbling together multiple income streams just to scrape by. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists

Even with our combined income we struggle to cover rent, utilities, food, and childcare each month. If we weren't getting help from our families we would not be able to pay for our daughter's childcare. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists

My wife and I had our first child in 2020. Little did we know that we would subsequently be out of contract for several years and my wages would remain stagnant amidst staggering inflation. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists

...I feel incredible pressure internally to do the same because I am raising two young kids who will have so many doors open to them-more extracurricular activities, a better education, even better food-with a parent making 47% more salary. #EqualPayCA

Despite some of us holding Ph.D.s and using our expertise daily, my Scientist colleagues and I, predominantly women and LGBTQ , are not fairly compensated for our advanced training and contributions. #EqualPayCA #ValueScientists
