As you can see here, women like this one and @juliaforboston have had enough of the harassment of @DoctorTurtleboy. So it's hilarious to watch him try and play the victim here when it's clear the low rent porn star is finally getting a taste of his own medicine. #mapoli?… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1638900492649594886

Great data! Trying to pass salary transparency bills in Massachusetts this session!! We need this!! #mapoli @KarenSpilka @nwlc

National Women's Law Center @nwlc

When employers are clear about salary expectations and standards, women benefit. We're past outdated and sexist barriers to pay equality, and we're demanding change. Now. https://nwlc.org/resource/pay-range-transparency-laws-benefit/
