It is already illegal under the Equal Pay Act, to pay women lower wages for the same work performed by their male counterparts. (7/8) — PolitiTweet.org

But we can address this inequity. Last year, House Democrats passed the Paycheck Fairness Act, which would provide legal remedies to millions of women who receive unjust wages. (6/8) — PolitiTweet.org

And with more people to care for, the ‘second shift’ of looking after the sick will ultimately fall heavier on women. The time for gender pay parity is needed now more than ever. (5/8) — PolitiTweet.org

Even in female-dominated professions – many of them on the COVID-19 front lines – it is nurses, psychiatric and home health aides and grocery store cashiers who feel this gap. (4/8) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz @RepDWStweets

Given the current crisis, this inequality gap will take a deeper toll on families as women are the sole or co-breadwinner in two thirds of all households with children. That means less food on the table, and smaller college savings & retirement accounts for working families.(3/8) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz @RepDWStweets

For women of color, it is far worse: Hispanic and Black women earn just 53 cents and 61 cents, respectively, for every dollar white men earn. At this rate, American women will suffer wage inequality until 2058. (2/8) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz @RepDWStweets

Today is National #EqualPayDay, the date that marks how far into the next year a woman must work just to earn the same wages a man earned in the previous year. A full-time working woman still makes only 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. (1/8) https://t.co/DfL8z0W8ox — PolitiTweet.org

There’s $2 trillion in relief for families, hospitals & small businesses in the #CARESAct, our bipartisan #coronavirus stimulus package. I'll break down that $2T investment, including direct payments to individuals like you. Here’s my first breakdown. Stay tuned for more. https://t.co/iwprFMUJei — PolitiTweet.org

Masks. Face shields. Ventilators. These are the tools our hospitals need to take on the #coronavirus. @HouseDemocrats secured resources in the #CARESAct to help them access all that and more. https://t.co/fFAPdBknuw — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz @RepDWStweets

Working men & women face tough times ahead in this public health crisis, and brave nurses & doctors need resources to fight #coronavirus.

This may prove to be no more than a hubristic bluff by an attention-starved Member. But if not, I will do all I can today to help every American avoid an even harsher disruption than the one that is already being unleashed on all of us right now. (3/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz @RepDWStweets

To pull this stunt amid a global pandemic will needlessly place hundreds of people – Members, staff, support workers and all their families – into a world of unwelcome anxiety and unwise public health interactions, regardless of the precautions. (2/4) — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz @RepDWStweets

Using a parliamentary threat to sabotage low-wage workers, hospitals and small businesses from swiftly receiving the financial relief they so desperately need, is more than just cynical grandstanding, it is dangerous. (1/4) https://t.co/Eq79KtapVs — PolitiTweet.org
