Action Alert: We need your help to stop House Bill 1241!

The American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi commends the Mississippi Legislature for exploring equal pay for women. This move reflects a proactive stance that we should continue to explore and hopefully codify when we get it right. Unfortunately, HB 1241 is not the right language. We should not get caught up in the rhetoric that this is an Equal Pay bill.  It is not!  It does equality more harm than good.
