   In response to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which says the pay gap has narrowed one cent to 78 cents on the dollar, AAUW is launching a new grassroots campaign with a clear message: “Keep the Change until Women Have Real Change.” 
   While this is the narrowest the wage gap has ever been, it's still only an additional one cent on the dollar. While women have been hard at work to earn their extra penny, Congress has failed to pass legislation that would give women effective equal pay protections. 
   In light of this development, AAUW and our friends will tell Congress: “Keep the Change until Women Have Real Change.”  Go to the AAUW Two-Minute Activist for current information.
