We hear about equal pay breaking down barriers for women of color all the time, but how often do we consider the difference between equal pay and livable wage? Especially for low-wage workers and domestic workers, minimum wage or equal pay does not guarantee other necessities like healthcare.
AAPI women, girls, and non-binary folks deserve more than the minimum. That includes not just equal pay, but equal access to healthcare no matter our immigration status. Join NAPAWF*NYC for our annual AAPI Equal Pay Day edition of The Study Group, where we will be drawing connections to our current campaigns, specifically the HEAL campaign focused on increasing access to health care for immigrant families. The list of materials can be accessed here. Reading the materials is not required, but meant to enhance your engagement with the topic. Additional event details below.
NAPAWF New York City (NAPAWF*NYC) builds power with members to advance social justice and human rights for AAPI women and girls, transgender, gender non-binary, and gender non-conforming individuals in New York.
We are a community of AAPI feminist visionaries and doers, dedicated to using our respective skills and expertise to raise our voices, take bold, meaningful action, and lift up our community.
