Closing the Racial Pay Gap One Data Point at a Time
The racial pay gap has been widening since the early 2000s. Studies show that pay inequity results in losses of up to one-million dollars over a lifetime for Black men and women. According to Citi’s Action for Racial Equity Report, closing the pay gap 20 years ago would have created an additional $2.7 trillion in income for consumption and investment by Black households.
Today, Black men and women are paid approximately $.071 and $.63 for every dollar paid to White men, respectively. In addition, US-based Latinas, on average, are paid 51% less than white men and 31% less than white women.
These realities are unacceptable.
The fight for pay equity can no longer overlook these vast racial disparities. It’s time to make pay equity systemic.
Method:Our 3-Fold Methodology
We Leverage Data
We are zapping the racial pay gap one data-point at a time. While the war against pay inequity has nearly exclusively focused on gender, The Equity App leverages data to attack the widening racial pay gap through a combination of Crowdsourced and corporate ally inputs.
We Make it Possible to #TalkPay
Many of us have been socialized to not #talkpay. Research reveals a correlation between this lack of financial transparency and today’s gross pay gap, which harms people of color most of all. The Equity App disrupts the status quo by creating a safe, anonymous space for everyone to #talkpay.
We Incentivize Corporate Action
The Equity App removes high-cost corporate barriers to pay-equity monitoring, enabling companies of all sizes to take action to resolve internal pay disparities. In addition, The Equity Badge, provided to select organizations, is a badge of honor that will be displayed by proven Equity Champions only.
