Minimum Wage



More than 3/4 women earning min wage are age 20+ & most don't have spousal income to rely on: http://bit.ly/1mDhUaw #RaiseTheWage #WEmatter



States that have a #minimumwage higher than $7.25 also tend to have a smaller #wagegap. It's time to #RaiseTheWage because #WEmatter



A $10.10 increase in the #minimumwage would either directly or indirectly raise the wages of 3.3 mil Latina workers.#RaiseTheWage #WEMatter



Un aumento a $10.10 en el salario mínimo haría q directa o indirectamente suba el salario  a 3.3 mil de Latinas. #WEmatter #Igualdadsalarial



4.8 mil working moms would get a raise if we #RaisetheWage. It’s time for #Congress to give these moms a raise! #Igualdadsalarial #WEMatter



1 in 7 tipped wage workers relies on food stamps. It’s time to #RaisetheWage. #WEMatter #SNAP #Igualdadsalarial



1 de cada 7 trabajadores que ganan propina dependen de las estampillas de alimentos. ¡Es hora de subir el salario mínimo! #Igualdadsalarial



A woman working full time at #minimumwage will earn $14,500 annually-$4,000 below poverty line for mom w/ 2 kids. #WEMatter #RaisetheWage



Una mujer trabajando tiempo completo con salario mínimo gana $14,500 anual, $4mil menos q límite d pobreza para madre con 2 niños #Igualdadsalarial



56% of #minimumwage workers work full-time. 56% are women. It’s time to #RaisetheWage! #WEMatter #Timefor1010 #Igualdadsalarial



56% de trabajadores ganando salario mínimo trabajan a tiempo complete.56% son mujeres.¡Es hora de subir el salario mínimo! #Igualdadsalarial



If we #raisethewage we will reduce the number of Americans on #SNAP. This helps women & families! http://ampr.gs/Nwi3vX #WEMatter



More women work low wage jobs: #RaisetheWage would help close gender pay gap! http://1.usa.gov/1eQMBTe  #WEMatter #Igualdadsalarial



Latinos comprise 16% of country’s workforce & make up nearly 1/4 of workers who would be positively affected by #RaisetheWage.



#Congress can #RaisetheWage AND close the #wagegap! 2 ways to help working moms!!Take action: http://action.momsrising.org/sign/momsraisethewage/ #WEMatter



Tipped workers (many women) live in #poverty at 3X the rate of the US workforce.Congress needs to #RaisetheWage. #WEMatter #Igualdadsalarial



If we #RaiseTheWage, we help #LGBT workers. Here's why: http://bit.ly/RZm7av. #WEMatter #Timefor1010 #Igualdadsalarial



Women represent nearly 2/3 of #minimumwage workers--22% of which are women of color. #RaisetheWage #Igualdadsalarial #Timefor1010



Hardworking men and women who are busting their tails in full-time jobs shouldn't be left in poverty."@SenWarren #Igualdadsalarial #WEmatter



Los trabajadores que hacen su labor arduamente en trabajos a tiempo completo no deberían de vivir en la pobreza @SenWarren #Igualdadsalarial



A job should be a way out of poverty for women, not just a continuation of it. Time to #RaisetheWage! #WEmatter



Un trabajo debía ser la manera d salir d la pobreza para mujeres, no una continuación d ella. Es hora d subir el salario mínimo. #Igualdadsalarial







Equal Pay Tweets



Latinas have to work through 2013 & until Oct. 8th 2014 to earn what white men earned in 2013 alone. Outrageous! #WEmatter #Igualdadsalarial



Las latinas trabajan del 2013 hasta oct. del 2014 para ganar lo mismo q un hombre anglosajón ganó en 2013 ¡Inaceptable! #Igualdadsalarial



American women are paid just 78¢ for every $1 paid to men. For women of color, the #wagegap is much larger. #Igualdadsalarial #WEmatter



Las mujeres en EEUU son pagadas 78 centavos por cada $1 que se les paga a los hombres. Para Latinas la brecha salarial es mayor. #Igualdadsalarial



FACT: The #wagegap between mothers & non-mothers is greater than between women & men — and it’s actually getting bigger. #WEmatter #EqualPay



HECHO: La brecha salarial entre madres y las que no son madres es mayor que aquella entre mujeres y hombres - y esta creciendo. #WEmatter



RT if you agree: it’s time to do away with workplace policies that belong in a #MadMen episode! #Igualdadsalarial #WEmatter



RT si está de acuerdo: ya es hora de cambiar las políticas del trabajo que pertenecen al show #MadMen! #Igualdadsalarial #WEmatter

Supporting your family shouldn’t contribute to the gender #WageGap. Stand up for #EqualPay. #Igualdadsalarial #WEmatter [Insert action link]



Apoyar a su familia no debería de contribuir a la brecha salarial basada por género. #Igualdadsalarial #WEmatter [Insert action link]



The wage gap is greatest for #Latinas, earning just 56 cents for every dollar paid to white men. #Igualdadsalarial #WEmatter



The average #Latina loses $23,279 in income per year because of the #wagegap. That is simply unacceptable! #Igualdadsalarial #WEmatter



If the #wagegap were eliminated a Latina working fulltime would be able to buy 183 MORE wks of food for her family each yr #Igualdadsalarial



If the #wagegap were eliminated #Latinas working full-time would earn enough for 26 MORE months of rent per yr. #Igualdadsalarial #WEmatter



40% of married Latina mothers bring in 1/2 or more of their families’ income. #EqualPay matters. #WEmatter.



For women of color and their families, every dollar counts. That's why we need to #RaisetheWage & close the #WageGap! #EqualPay



At this rate, the wage gap will not close for 4 decades. Can you wait another 40 years for a fair wage? We sure can't! #Igualdadsalarial



The truth is: when women lose income, their economic security and that of their families is undermined. #Igualdadsalarial #WEmatter



56 = 100, right? Wrong. But Latinas are still only paid 56¢ for every $1 paid to white men. Time for #IgualidadSalarial because #WEmatter!



Latinas face a 44¢ #wagegap—so it takes this far in 2014 for Latinas to make what white men did in 2013. #EqualPay #IgualidadSalarial #WEmatter
