We’re mobilizing for Equal Pay Day!
April 10, 2025 is Equal Pay Day in Ontario. It symbolizes how far into the next year the average woman must work in order to have earned what the average man had earned in the previous year.
You’ll hear from renowned economist Armine Yalnizyan, who will unpack the current economic climate and its impact on women. Pam Frache from Justice for Workers will lead an organizing workshop to equip you with tools to take action in your community. Plus, hear directly from women working on the front lines in sectors hit hardest by tariffs in the public and private sectors.
Attend in person at the Centre for Social Innovation, 192 Spadina Avenue, Toronto
or join us online via Zoom.
