The Leadership Alliance at Brown, Connecticut College, and the University of Maryland, College Park organized very successful Pay Equity Bake Sale fundraisers on their campus to not only raise money for their group but also raise awareness about discrimination and the Wage Gap against women. The average working woman in the United States now earns only 71.4 cents for every dollar earned by a man.
