Tuesday, April 4th marks Equal Pay Day — when we recognize that women on average are paid 20% less than men and how far into 2017 women need to work to earn what men were paid in 2016. Addressing the gender pay gap is an important step in building the path to equality for all. Businesses have the ability to eliminate this barrier to advancement and we can work together as one community — one ohana — to lead the change.
Beyond committing regular equal pay assessments, Salesforce is participating in Leanin.org’s #20PercentCounts campaign along with LUNA, Lyft, and P&G. Salesforce donated to support the national rollout of the campaign which includes businesses in more than 25 U.S. cities offering 20% discounts and special offers.
On this day we also honor the equality trailblazers who dedicated their lives to achieving equal pay for equal work. We will actually hear from three of them — humanitarian and sports icon Billie Jean King, equal pay for equal work activist Lilly Ledbetter and Academy Award-winner and activist Patricia Arquette — at World Tour D.C. on Equal Pay Day, April 4th at 1:00pm ET. To watch live visit Salesforce.com/live.
The pay gap and gender inequality impacts us all. To raise awareness around the gender wage gap and how we can build a path forward to create change, we’ve compiled quotes from thought leaders here:
