When we made the call for Equal Pay Day Art Contest entries, kids and teens from across the country answered with a whole lot of creativity, colorful ingenuity, and powerful artwork to build grassroots youth power for pay equity and workplace justice.

We are honored to announce that U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh and U.S. Deputy Secretary of Labor Julie Su served as our special guest judges from the Biden Administration. We're so grateful for their time and overall committment to equal pay.

The Secretary and Deputy Secretary selected one winning entry from each age group. Without further ado, our 2022 Pay Equity Champions are...
