Fair and Equal Pay

Posted January 30th 2009 at 9:34 AM by womenscentre

Oh, Obama! You really are all about hope and change!

Why do I say this? Well, check out this ad from his campaign:

The woman in the ad is Lilly Ledbetter. Yesterday, Obama signed a fair pay law that is called the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Restoration Act.

How awesome is that? Now if only the Canadian government could get on board with legislation like that.

The Saint Mary's University Women's Centre promotes gender equity and feminisms and celebrates women through activities and events. We are a queer and trans-positive space and embrace an anti-oppression philosophy. We are involved in a variety of political and social causes and activism and invite groups to use our space for feminist projects.

We offer free resources, advocacy, referrals, and unique feminist programming. Some of our services include weekly stitch and bitch gatherings, free sports for women, feminist discussions, workshops and film screenings. We have a growing feminist library of books, journals and movies available to borrow and free condoms, pads, tampons, coffee and tea!
