Dot,   Ten years ago, women were paid $0.77 for every dollar a man was paid.  Now, we're paid $0.78. At this rate, it won't be until 2058 that equal pay for equal work becomes a reality. Progress may move slowly, but this is too slow.  That's why we're working with our allies to call on Congress to take action to stop paycheck discrimination.   Demand Congress take action to make equal pay for equal work a reality. Add your name to the petition. A new report showed that closing the gender wage gap could lift half of working single moms out of poverty.  As someone who was raised by a single mom, I won't wait quietly for women like her to be paid what they're due. We have to speak out for women and families.  We have to urge Congress to move this issue to the front of their agenda. Raise your voice and tell Congress it's time to pass equal pay for equal work. Thanks for fighting for women at all levels, Jess McIntosh Vice President of Communications, EMILY's List
