The USWNT's co-captain spoke with Washington senators Patty Murray and Senator Maria Cantwell on Sunday to champion her cause.
U.S. Women's National Team star Megan Rapinoe sat down with two Washington senators over the weekend to step up her fight for equal pay.
Speaking to the senators, the USWNT's co-captain advocated equal pay not just for women athletes, but across society as a whole. "The effects of equal pay is not just on the woman's wallet," she explained."It's on her children's wallet, it's on her community's wallet. It's sort of on the whole world. It affects men too, I think a lot of guys don't realize that. Every time a woman is not paid equally, everyone is not and nobody's potential is able to be reached."
