Published

It’s our time to have wage equality once and for all and equal rights for women in the United States of America.”

Days later, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said, “I think we all cheered at Patricia Arquette’s speech at the Oscars, because she’s right — it’s time to have wage equality.” Back in April 2014, Hillary Clinton sent out this tweet: “20 years ago, women made 72 cents on the dollar to men. Today it’s still just 77 cents. More work to do.”
