Proof your reports make a difference! A company that runs apartment complexes across SoCal is changing its policies, after a domestic violence survivor came to us, saying the property company attempted to evict her because of her partner's abuse. The Long Beach woman told us management served her the eviction notice because the abuse caused a disturbance at the complex and violated her lease. While landlords can have disorderly conduct policies to maintain a peaceful environment, rules that punish tenants for their abusers’ behavior can unfairly impact women and people of color and break fair housing laws. Thanks to her complaint, we were able to get the company to stop the eviction and change its policies to ensure renters facing abuse can't be evicted. Now renters in dozens of cities across SoCal are protected! Click below to learn more about this case and how to file a discrimination complaint ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/esQUNbc9

Motherhood shouldn't put anyone's earning potential at risk. Pay data reporting is key to closing the pay gap in California! Click below to learn more ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gX96QH8R
Today is Mom's Equal Pay Day, and we're highlighting the pay gap mothers experience in the workplace. Inequities such as pay discrimination, and inadequate leave policies, affect a mother's financial stability both short and long term. Data show that a mother working full time earns 71 cents for every dollar a father earns working full time. The gap widens to 63 cents to the dollar when including mothers who work part-time or seasonally compared to fathers. A Pew Research report shows the salaries for mothers ages stagnate while, "the share of employed men with children at home peaks between the ages of 35 to 44, standing at 58% in 2022. This is also when fathers tend to receive higher pay." The additional challenge of unpaid labor of household work, child- and elder-care affects not only the financial security, but the mental health and energy required to fully participate in the workforce. Mom's Equal Pay Day is a call to action for all employers and policy makers to reinforce policies that support working mothers, mother figures, and all women, that they may thrive both at work and at home. #MomsEqualPayDay Sources: https://lnkd.in/gAzMQ3MG https://lnkd.in/eTcykx5i
