2019 Equal Pay Day Events
Equal Pay Day for all women was Tuesday, April 2. Because neither the Pennsylvania House or Sena
te was in session that day, AAUW Pennsylvania held a Rally at the State Capitol in Harrisburg on Monday, April 8th. Five members of AAUW Carlisle (unfortunately only three pictured) attended. Go here for complete coverage and photos.
The day began with a briefing from Barbara Pric
e, AAUW Pennsylvania Public Policy Co-Chair. Do you recognize the person to Barbara’s left? That is Mrs. Wolf, Pennsylvania’s First Lady. She attended the briefing and shared her reasons for supporting equal pay.
So not to be silent on Equal Pay Day, April 2nd, branches were encouraged to visit Representative and Senator district offices. So pleased that the Representatives of all members were visited — Gleim, Rothman, Eckers, Delozier — except Keefer. AND all State Senators — Ward, Regan — were visited. AAUW Carlisle is amazing!!
