AAUW Kingston wants you to moan, groan, and scowl with us next Tuesday, April 17, Pay Equity Day. That’s the symbolic day when women’s wages catch up with what men made last year. In NYS women earn only 82 cents for every dollar a man earns.
So, we encourage you to join us at our UnHappy Hour. It’s an informal networking opportunity for women and men who care about equity for women and girls. And, if you belong to a group that serves women and girls, bring some of your literature. And bring your friends. And all the men who quietly support equity for their wives, mothers, and daughters.
Some of us will be spending the day in Albany at AAUW-NYS’s Public Policy Day meeting with Senators Bonacic and Larkin and Assemblymen Cahill and Lopez. By 5pm we’ll be ready to toast their commitments to support the state legislation that will help further our agenda, so do join us.
Where? Keegan Ales, 20 Saint James Street, Kingston, NY 12401.
When: Pay Equity Day, Tuesday, April 17, 2012 5-7 pm
Open to all. Cash bar. (Kitchen is closed on Tues. nights.)
