Who we are:
The Equal Pay Coalition NYC is a consortium of civic organizations, advocates and experts working together for Pay Equity in New York. EPCNYC was created in 2007 by NYWA, a New York nonprofit charitable corporation, in response to growing concern and mounting evidence of the continuing economic discrimination suffered by New York’s women and minorities and their families. EPCNYC promotes policy and legislative action on all levels of government to create fair pay practices, and primarily focuses its efforts on NY State and NY City Pay Equity reform.
This nonpartisan and nonprofit effort welcomes organizations and individuals who want to identify with this fair pay campaign and work together to further these goals.
What we are doing: EPCNYC, under the coordination of NYWA’s Government Affairs Committee, sponsored recent activities which included:
- Sponsor of the Equal Pay Day Rally NYC
- Lead testimony at NY City Council Pay Equity hearing
- Advocacy for the passage of the New York State Fair Pay Act and federal laws
- Advocacy for the NY City Council’s unanimously passage of Resolutions #896A and #1152 in June, 2008 which call for state and federal pay equity laws
- Organizer of the Fair Pay Forum at Hunter College
- Press Outreach
EPCNYC is actively pursuing NYS and NYC remedies through action alerts, letters to and meetings with key leaders, media outreach, and educational activities and forums.
What we ask of you: Joining forces with EPCNYC by adding your voice to this growing campaign will lend credibility, enhance visibility, inform and broaden the reach of EPCNYC’s message. Many groups are actively involved in shaping EPCNYC’s agenda.
For organizations: We ask coalition participants to, at a minimum: share information with your networks; participate in occasional conferences calls, if possible; and be a resource for advice and information. Join us!
For individuals: Join the Fair Pay Network, stay informed and have your voice heard! We encourage EPCNYC partners to become members of NYWA. Join us!
