Los Angeles and Long Beach were among the first group of California cities to sign a pledge supporting equal pay for women, first partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom announced Tuesday. The California Equal Pay Pledge has also been signed by 111 companies thus far. 'It will continue to take public and private partnerships like our California Equal Pay Pledge to close the gender pay gap in California. Pay inequity stems from a patriarchal system that was not built with gender equity in mind, but instead built to keep money and power in the hands of few men in control,' Siebel Newsom said.
