Equal Pay Day, March 14, 2023
Each year, BPW/TN advocates Equal Pay Day events to bring attention to our number one issue - Pay Equity. Due to the gender wage gap, nationally women earn 77 cents to each dollar paid to male counterparts. Over a working lifetime, this wage disparity costs the average American woman an estimated $500,000. April is symbolic of the time in the year that a woman must work to earn the wages paid to a man in the previous year. Below are some helpful tools and ideas to assist you in planning a successful Equal Pay Day event.

Equal Pay Day Ideas for Local Organizations
- Provide a fact Sheet on Equal Pay Day to all members in your local organization.
- Issue a Press Release, noting your planned activities.
- Select a member to do a presentation on Equal Pay Day during your next meeting and to discuss your chapter’s efforts to communicate this in your community.
- Ask everyone in your chapter to wear red on Equal Pay Day to symbolize women still being “in the red” when it comes to pay equity.
- Host a mixer (alone or with other women’s groups in your area) for Equal Pay Day, using the “Unhappy Hour” theme.
- Create/distribute post cards (or flyers) with Equal Pay facts on one side & information about your BPW chapter on the other (hand out with a mini Pay Day candy bars) during an upcoming event or at a set location on Equal Pay Day..
