Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim July 10, 2026, as Black Women's Equal Pay Day in the State of New York

This resolution asks Governor Hochul to designate July 10, 2026, as Black Women's Equal Pay Day in New York. It aims to raise awareness about the persistent pay gap where Black women in New York earn approximately 66 cents for every dollar earned by non-Hispanic white men, as highlighted in the resolution's factual statements. As a commemorative resolution, it does not create new laws but seeks to highlight economic justice issues affecting Black women, who face systemic pay disparities across industries and contribute to broader community economic challenges.
