Lilly Ledbetter

The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 is a landmark federal statute in the United States that was the first bill signed into law by U.S. President Barack Obama on January 29, 2009.
The act amends Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and states that the 180-day statute of limitations for filing an equal-pay lawsuit regarding pay discrimination resets with each new paycheck affected by that discriminatory action.
The law directly addressed Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (2007), a U.S. Supreme Court decision that the statute of limitations for presenting an equal-pay lawsuit begins on the date that the employer makes the initial discriminatory wage decision, not at the date of the most recent paycheck.
Source: Wikipedia

LILLY is a powerful dramatic film starring Patricia Clarkson, John Benjamin Hickey and Thomas Sadoski and directed by Rachel Feldman.
Based on the remarkable true story of working-class hero, Lilly Ledbetter, a hard-working Alabama tire factory supervisor whose singular goal is to lift her family into the middle class. Having grown up in poverty, she endures a work environment plagued by pervasive harassment for the sake of the best paycheck in the county.
As retirement approaches, Lilly discovers that the system has been cheating her, paying her close to half of what the men with the same jobs are earning. Outraged, Lilly fights this injustice to the Supreme Court, the corridors of Congress and eventually The White House all while powerful forces try to shut her down.
LILLY follows the transformation of an ordinary citizen into the face of an issue, illuminating the impact a single, courageous person can have.

Title IX was passed 54 years ago — but the promise of equal educational opportunity remains unfulfilled.
There are Black and Brown girls who are disciplined at disproportionately high rates. There are transgender and nonbinary students who face bullying and harassment at school. There are young women in college who continue to experience sexual assault at higher rates than their peers.
Every student deserves a safe, inclusive learning environment where they can learn, participate, and thrive.
Title IX remains one of our nation’s most important civil rights protections in education. AAUW will continue to fight for strong enforcement of inclusive Title IX policies that fulfill their promise of equal educational opportunity for all students.
On July 8, join AAUW for a webinar to learn how issues like education and civil rights are shaping the future for women and girls nationwide.
