"It's unacceptable that 56 years have passed since the passage of the Equal Pay Act and we're still struggling to close the wage gap. #MomsEqualPayDay is a reminder that Congress needs to pass the #PaycheckFairness Act to address this problem and help working mothers."

"In Illinois, moms make just 68 cents for every dollar earned by fathers. The gap is even wider for moms of color in Illinois, with Black mothers earning just 52 cents and Latina mothers only 41 cents for every dollar a white father makes."
