About the Pledge

Learn details about the pledge from California First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom 

The California Equal Pay Pledge is a partnership between the Office of the First Partner, the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls, the California Partners Project, and the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency to turn the strongest equal pay laws in the nation into the smallest pay gap in the nation.

 

Since the launch of the California Equal Pay Pledge in April 2019, hundreds of California-based companies, organizations, and municipalities have signed, reaching hundreds of thousands of employees. Pledge signatories commit to conducting an annual company-wide gender pay analysis, reviewing hiring and promotion processes to reduce unconscious bias, and promoting best practices to help close the pay gap and ensure fundamental equity for all employees.

Together, we are moving the needle towards an #EqualPayCA.

“California has the strongest equal pay laws in the nation but we still have work to do. The California Equal Pay Pledge brings together Californians from all sectors to develop solutions to the persistent gender wage gap women face. Because in the fifth, and quickly becoming the fourth, largest economy of the world, we know that “women are essential.”
