Seventeen years ago, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act became law — marking a critical step forward in the fight for equal pay and women’s economic security.

Lilly Ledbetter’s story was not just about unequal pay; it was about years of workplace harassment and discrimination that kept her from earning what she deserved. Today, those hard-won protections are under attack, from rolling back workplace harassment guidance to weakening the data and disparate-impact tools that help us see discrimination baked into systems. You can’t fix what you can’t measure.

If we’re serious about pay equity, we need to strengthen our laws and enforcement tools, not turn a blind eye when discrimination is harder to see. That means: leaders who pass and enforce strong equal-pay and anti-harassment protections (including pay transparency and salary-history bans), employers who audit their pay and post real salary ranges, and all of us talking openly about pay, backing coworkers who speak up, and voting for equity.

AAUW will keep fighting for workplaces where every worker is paid fairly and treated with dignity — the future Lilly Ledbetter was fighting for.

We are pleased to announce that Virginia Beach School Board Member Sharon Felton will be our featured speaker at our January meeting. Many of us have been confused, sad and/or angry at some of the new mandates to which our local schools have been subjected. Should certain books be banned (and, if so, by whom?)? Should all programs supporting diversity, equity and inclusion be discontinued?
