March 12 is Equal Pay Day this year. Peconic Bay Zonta members (from left) Liala Strotman, Betsy Kaplan, Diane Greenberg, Vivian Daddino, Geri Kazenoff, Annika Shapiro, Kathy Walker and Loretta Ogden wear red to symbolize how far women are "in the red" with their pay.

On average, women must work longer for the same amount of pay than men in comparable jobs. The wage gap is even greater for most women of color.

In 2023, women had to work through March 14 – two days more – to make as much money as men did. We're inching up.

Zonta believes in equal pay for equal work!
