YOU'RE INVITED: Pay Equity Summit September 29th

It's 2018, and our historically female crafts still aren't compensated equally to their male equivalents. What?!

Why this matters to families: 

According to the Center for American Progress, 

42% of mothers are sole or primary breadwinners;

22.4% of mothers are co-breadwinners.

Why this matters to everyone:
Women are significant contributors to our entertainment industry and vital voices in creating diverse and successful content. Women and mothers are our bosses, colleagues, employees, friends, family, and community members.

However...public perceptions aren't keeping up

with our changing workforce:

According to the Pew Research Center, Americans still place a higher value on men's contributions in the workplace.

Let's discuss how to affect positive change at

Pay Equity Summit 2018
