California Equal Pay Pledge
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.

Equal Pay Days
Equal Pay Day was developed by the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE) in 1996 as a public awareness event to illustrate the gap between men’s and women’s wages. The Office of the First Partner is proud to shine a bright light on the pay inequities that exist for women – in particular women of color.
