		<description><![CDATA[Funeral services begin today for former First Lady Betty Ford who passed away Friday at the age of 93. Here are three ways we can honor Ford&#8217;s incredible legacy. 1. Support the Equal Rights Amendment. Ford was a supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment. She marched and rallied in support of the amendment which still has not been ratified. The Equal Rights Amendment was written in 1923 and took 49 years to pass Congress but it was never ratified because not enough states supported it and Congress sets a time limit for ratification. Last month Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney and Senator Robert Menendez re-introduced the Equal Rights Amendment. As Maloney said in a press release, “The Equal Rights Amendment is still needed because the only way for women to achieve permanent equality in the U.S. is to write it into the constitution.  Making women’s equality a constitutional right—after Congress passes and 38 states ratify the ERA—would place the United States on record, albeit more than 200 years late, that women are fully equal in the eyes of the law.” Urge your representatives to support the bill. 2. Support the Paycheck Fairness Act. Ford was also a supporter of equal pay, an issue she [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If I had .23 cents for every time I wrote about why men should care about the wage gap, I could buy a venti nonfat latte. So imagine my delight when I heard about GetRaised, an online service that helps people determine whether or not they are underpaid, and gives them tools to do something about it. GetRaised was developed by the team at Churnless, a company that develops strategy and products that drive behavioral change. “Entrepreneur Avi Karnani and Behavioral Psychologist Matt Wallaert, our co-heads, worked together at Thrive, a free personal finance management site, so we do a lot of work in that area: at the intersection of life and money,” says Dave Clarke, Communications Strategist at GetRaised.com. “While we were working on Thrive, there was a lot of discussion about the fact that even if people cut their spending way down, they still could only work with the money coming in the door and sometimes that just wasn’t enough.” (Which is exactly one of the reasons men should care about the wage gap.) “There’s also the idea of narrowing the gender-wage gap,” continues Clarke. “When our scientist was looking at the Thrive data, he noticed that women [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think I owe you some good news. Don&#8217;t you? Well here it is. I just got off a conference call with Senator Dodd, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, Marcia Greenberger, Co-President of the National Women’s Law Center, and Lilly Ledbetter. Senator Dodd announced he has support from Senator Tom Harkin, Chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee to start hearings on the Paycheck Fairness Act. As you may know, this week is the one year anniversary of President Obama signing the Lilly Ledbetter Act into law. The Ledbetter law gives employees a longer window to file discrimination claims. It is an important piece of legislation, but as Ledbetter said on the call, &#8220;The work is far from done.&#8221; The Paycheck Fairness Act will strengthen the Ledbetter Act. One of the most important aspects of the bill is it will prohibit retaliation against employees who ask about or disclose their wages. Said Ledbetter, &#8220;This would have been particularly helpful to me. This policy delayed my discovery (that she was being paid less than her male peers) by decades.&#8221; The House passed the Paycheck Fairness legislation in July 2008 but the Senate has not yet acted on it. Hearings are [...]]]></description>
