Lilly Ledbetter endorses Biden on Equal Pay Day [View all]

Lily Ledbetter, a fierce advocate for equal pay, endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday, Equal Pay Day.

“I know Joe Biden. He understands what it’s like to be a single parent. And, he will fight for equal pay and working women, just as he always has," Ledbetter said in a statement. "That’s why I am proud to endorse him to be our next president.”

Ledbetter, 81, added, “This is the first time in more than 12 years that I am at home on Equal Pay Day. I'm usually in some part of the country with a huge crowd of women and men who are dedicated to closing the pay gap. Instead I am staying home, watching along with so many other people as the current president shows Americans just how little he cares about working families."

Ledbetter became one of the central faces of the equal pay movement when she won her gender pay discrimination case against her former employer, Goodyear Tire and Rubbery Company.
