President Biden signed a proclamation Wednesday to mark Equal Pay Day, a day which marks how far women must work into the new year to earn what men made on average in the previous year. U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe spoke at a congressional hearing.

Megan Rapinoe: “It’s just unacceptable that we’re still fighting for equal pay. And I feel like also we’ve done everything. You want stadiums filled. We filled them. You want role models for your kids, for your boys and your girls and your little trans kids. We have that. You want us to be respectful. You want us to perform on the world stage. You want us to take the Stars and Stripes, the Red, White and Blue, across the entire globe and represent America in the best way possible. We’ve done all of that. And simply, there’s no reason why we’re underpaid, for the exception of gender.”
