Achieving equitable wages about much more than making change for Silicon Valley Latinas

LATINAS IN SILICON Valley get paid 33 cents for every dollar a white man earns — and local leaders say that needs to change.

Dozens of people gathered recently in Santa Clara for a joint rally in honor of Latina Equal Pay Day, hosted by the Santa Clara County Office of Women’s Policy and Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley. Attendees wore shades of olive and forest green to represent the fight for fair pay, holding posters with phrases like “Equal pay for equal work.”
