Law360: Lilly Ledbetter Was An ‘Indefatigable’ Force For Equal Pay
October 21. 2024
National Campaign Director Deborah Vagins is featured in a Law360 article about the passing of fair pay icon Lilly Ledbetter:
“People use the words ‘icon’ and ‘trailblazer,’ and those are true, and those put people … on a pedestal.
And she deserves every inch of that pedestal,” said Deborah Vagins, director of Equal Pay Today at the
gender justice organization Equal Rights Advocates. “And at the same time, she was just the most lovely,
kind, generous, funny, selfless person I’ve met.” …“I hope that she had been buoyed by the fact that she did change the landscape of this issue. It is a front-and-center, front-of-mind, kitchen-table issue now, in a way that it was absolutely not in 2006 or 2007,” Vagins said.
