On March 12, the League of Women Voters of the Copper Country will mark Equal Pay Day by distributing cookies and literature on the Michigan Tech Campus. The League and co-sponsors will spread awareness by wearing red and gathering at the Husky from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Red is worn on Equal Pay Day to symbolize how far women and people of color are "in the red." For the data on the gender pay gap, see the American Association of University Women's website. https://www.aauw.org/resources/research/simple-truth/.

Volunteers are needed to spread the word and pass out cookies. Contact Mary Marchaterre at mmmarcha [at] mtu.edu to volunteer.

All are welcome to join this event, which has been taking place most years since 2016.
