by Rachel Simon

Happy Tuesday, all! Hopefully, your week hasn't been too busy just yet. It's crazy to think that we're already in April, and that summer will be here before we know it, but alas, here we are! The month is underway, and the news certainly isn't slowing down.

Read on for a recap of all the things that had Bustle's editors talking today, April 4.

Equal Pay Day + How To Help

Today is Equal Pay Day in the U.S., a day meant to highlight the wage gap that exists in the workforce for women, especially women of color. And while it's heartening to know that there are plenty of brands that are committed to equal pay, from Apple to Chobani, it's crucial that we all keep fighting and making our voices heard.

Pro Tip: Arguing for better pay at work might seem overwhelming or too difficult, but asking for a raise can seriously change your life. Don't wait on it.
