Rosa DeLauro, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Connecticut's 3rd district, has recently taken to social media to advocate for equal pay legislation. On March 25, 2025, DeLauro made several statements on Twitter highlighting her efforts and collaborations aimed at addressing wage disparities between men and women.

In a tweet posted on March 25, 2025, at 14:35 UTC, DeLauro announced the reintroduction of the Paycheck Fairness Act alongside the Democratic Women's Caucus. She emphasized the necessity for gender pay equity with her statement: "DeLauro & @DemWomenCaucus reintroduce the Paycheck Fairness Act. Women deserve equal pay for equal work, NOW."

Later that day, at 18:25 UTC, DeLauro expressed gratitude towards Representative Teresa Leger Fernandez for supporting the cause. Her tweet underscored the fundamental principle of pay equality by stating: "Thank you @RepTeresaLF for joining me today in calling for equal pay for equal work for the hardworking woman across the country! It really is this simple: men and women in the same job deserve the same pay."

At 19:00 UTC on March 25, DeLauro further highlighted ongoing wage disparities by noting that women earn significantly less than their male counterparts and that this gap is even wider among women of color. She reaffirmed her commitment to ensuring fair compensation through legislative action with another tweet: "On average, women earn just 75 cents for every dollar men make— with an even greater disparity for women of color. This Equal Pay Day, I stand with my @demwomencaucus colleagues as I reintroduce the Paycheck Fairness Act, to ensure all women are paid fairly for their work."
