Women deserve to be paid equally for doing the same work as higher-paid men.

This past legislative session, we came so close to passing legislation that would help close the gender wage gap in Rhode Island. But that bill was gutted in the House at the last minute, leaving Rhode Island women behind once again.

The Fair Pay Act, as passed in the Senate in 2018, needs to be passed into law in 2019.
