For Latina Equal Pay Day, these phenomenal women took a stand

11/21/2019 0:00 CET By Alisandra Puliti

It's surreal to think it takes almost a year longer for a Latina to make as much as a non-Hispanic, white man in salary from the previous year. To show support and take a stand, celebrities joined the cause and wore shirts created by Jen Zeano in collaboration with the Phenomenal Women Action Campaign, which benefits Justice for Migrant Women. They also shared some shocking stats that'll really make you say que?!

Scroll through to see America Ferrera, Eva Longoria, Diane Guerrero and more stars show off their Latina Power.

The mom-of-three took to her platform to share the honest truth about where Latinas stand vs. non-Hispanic, white men when it comes to wages. After sharing her Latina Power shirt, the actress posted facts in the slides that followed. One highlighted that by the year 2060, 27% of the women in the US will be Latina.

The BESE founder shared a closeup to acknowledge Latina Equal Pay Day. With the photo the Avengers actress wrote: "It's not quite a cause for celebration, but November 20 is #LatinaEqualPayDay, which marks the point in 2019 at which the average Latina's wages at last equal what a white man earned in 2018. For women overall, it takes about 16 months to make what a white man makes in 12. But for Latina women—whose "Equal Pay Day" is the last observed of the year—that number is much higher. It takes nearly 23 months to even out, with Latina's typically earning only 54 cents for every dollar a man makes."

The Doom Patrol actress posed for friend Lelund Durond in the Latina Power shirt while sharing the 'tea.' She wrote: "Today is #LatinaEqualPay Day, when Latinas "catch up" to what white, non-hispanic men were paid in 2018. The gap is widest for Latina workers, who on average earn only 54 cents for every $1 a man is paid. Meaning, they must work nearly two years to earn what white men earn in one year. This is unacceptable, and we need to act now. Latinas are powerful, and we deserve equal pay! @phenomenal tee benefits @mujerxsrising, which protects the rights of migrant women."
