Take Action for LGBTQIA+ Equal Pay!

Demand Pride in Our Pay: Tell the EEOC to Protect LGBTQIA+ Workers!

This Pride Month, we are celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community – but true celebration is impossible without economic justice. Our families can’t thrive when discrimination follows workers onto the clock.

Right now, LGBTQIA+ workers earn just 90 cents for every dollar the median U.S. worker earns, and that gap widens drastically for trans women and Latine workers.

Worse, the EEOC is actively undermining protections. They are rolling back anti-harassment guidance and trying to halt 60-year-old workplace demographic data collection. We cannot stop systemic pay discrimination if the government erases the data used to prove it.

We won’t let a political agenda dictate the livelihoods of millions of workers. Join us in demanding the EEOC do its job and protect ALL workers.

Add your name to our petition to the EEOC right now.

Dear EEOC Commissioners,

MomsRising members across the country strongly encourage you to prioritize policies that protect LGBTQIA+ workers and advance pay equity. We are deeply alarmed by the recent rollbacks that undermine federal employment protections for the LGBTQIA+ community. We demand that the Commission immediately fulfill its legal mandate to protect all workers from harassment and discrimination, free from political agendas.

Specifically, we call on the EEOC to:

Enforce Lawful Protections: Immediately reverse course and fully enforce employment protections for transgender and nonbinary workers, ensuring safe and equitable work environments.
Reinstate Workplace Guidance: Restore the critical technical assistance and comprehensive workplace harassment guidance that explicitly protects workers on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
Save EEO-1 Demographic Data: Halt any efforts to eliminate the 60-year-old EEO-1 demographic data collection. This data is a cornerstone of civil rights enforcement, essential for tracking systemic pay discrimination, and critical for ensuring all workers – including the next generation entering the workforce – are fairly represented.

Economic security is a necessity for family survival. We urge the EEOC to protect the rights, dignity, and paychecks of LGBTQIA+ workers across the nation.

Sincerely,
