The report finds Black, Latinx and transgender women of color make nearly 2 percent less than white men in the same position within the city workforce. As we commemorate Black Women&#8217;s Equal Pay Day, we must accelerate our efforts to close the wage gap that perpetuates poverty in households throughout the five boroughs. The Women&#8217;s Caucus, in partnership with advocates like CWA 1180 and PowHerNY, will continue to champion equal pay for equal work for women everywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<\/p>\n<p><em>New York City Council Member Farah N.
