AS A 10 YEAR OLD SOCCER PLAYER, MY GOAL IS TO FIGHT FOR EQUAL PAY FOR ALL WOMEN ATHLETES SO THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EARN THE WAGE THEY RIGHTFULLY DESERVE. MY HOPE IS THAT BY ADVOCATING FOR EQUAL PAY FOR ALL HUMANS, ONE DAY, WHEN I BECOME A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE I WILL BE PAID A FAIR WAGE FOR THE SKILLS I BRING TO THE SPORT. 

WOMEN ATHLETES ARE PAID SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN MEN ATHLETES. WOMEN ATHLETES PUT IN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AND ENERGY, YET THE PAY GAP IN THE MAJORITY OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS IS DISPARAGINGLY DIFFERENT.

THE U.S. WOMEN'S NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM GETS PAID LESS THAN THE U.S. MENS NATIONAL SOCCER TEAM EVEN THOUGH THE USWNT CREATES MORE OF A PROFIT FOR U.S. SOCCER.

IN ORDER TO MAKE A CHANGE WE NEED TO STAND UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT, WE NEED TO GET EVERYONE ON OUR SIDE. MEN, WOMEN, YOUNG ADULTS AND THE YOUTH OF TODAYS GENERATION. EQUAL PAY IS THE ONLY WAY!

I AM A 10 YEAR OLD SOCCER PLAYING, FIGHTING FOR EQUAL PAY!
