321ACTION: Equal Pay Day, Biden Admin's Budget, Virtual Hunger Museum

Ready to make a difference?

Here are three ways to get started:

1. Advocate on Equal Pay Day

Tuesday is #EqualPayDay, which marks the date that women have to work until in 2023 to make what men did in 2022. That's 73 days more than men do! 

To eliminate pay inequity we must talk about it openly, face it head on, and demand change for ourselves, our families, and our communities. To raise awareness join advocates, lawmakers, and community members from across the country for the National Social Media Storm tomorrow at 2pm ET.  

Get loud on social media for Equal Pay Day!

2. Learn about the Biden Administration Budget 

The Administration’s Budget is out, and it makes large investments in gun violence prevention initiatives, efforts to end gender-based violence, as well as policies that support economic security for women and families.  

Congress must pass a budget that prioritizes investments in individuals and communities and meets the urgent needs of today. Learn more about what was is included in the Biden Administration Budget.

3. Tour the Virtual Hunger Museum

Over 42 million Americans face hunger each and every day including 1 in 6 children. And, in 2021, 53 million people turned to food banks and community programs for help put food on the table.  

Take a virtual tour of the Hunger Museum, an innovative new project from our colleagues at Mazon, to explore over 100 years of anti-hunger policy and how political, economic, and cultural influences that have shaped hunger in America.

What's happening at JWI? 

Next week, we are launching a new session of ReStart, a new JWI initiative that offers ongoing workshops and support to Jewish survivors of domestic abuse to help them gain the emotional and professional support needed to embark on their return-to-work journey with confidence.

This program offers virtual workshops, one-on-one coaching, peer support, financial literacy training, and professional work attire for participants. It is open to all Jewish survivors of domestic abuse.

If you work with this population, we invite you to learn more and talk with our Sr. Director of Survivors Supports to see if this program is right for your clients.
