EQUAL PAY DAY

3/22/2018

0 Comments

 
Thanks to all of you who came out to celebrate women and to support women entrepreneurs on March 8, International Women’s Day.  Together, we invested over $850 in Thanh Tham, a woman winemaker in rural Vietnam. Thanh has been making and selling wine for the past 10 years and needed some additional capital to maintain her small bar. How cool is that?!

Next Up: Tues, April 10, is Equal Pay Day.  We hope you’ll join us from 3-10 pm to drink up and raise funds for equal rights.   

The date of Equal Pay Day symbolizes how many more days women must work to earn what men were paid in 2017.  In other words, the average woman must have worked all of 2017 through April 10, 2018 to be paid what a man was paid in 2017 alone.  

On average, women make 20% less than men; black women make 37% less (working until Aug 7 to catch up); Latina women 46% less (working until Nov 1 to catch up). **Takes big gulp of wine.**

Sound familiar?  Last year, Equal Pay Day was April 4.  We have not moved the needle, yet. Well, we think we can all agree, #TimesUp.  

Because one form of discrimination often leads to another, on top of getting paid less to do the same work, women often enounter sexual harassment, assault, and abuse in the workplace.  It’s important we recognize the vast inequities that are present in the workplace and the impact they can have women, families, and society.

We’ll continue raising awareness of these issues and supporting organizations working to fight for justice, and we hope you’ll join us:


Equal Pay Day
Tues, April 10
3-10 pm
Wine Down, 685 Folsom
20% proceeds to the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund


​Thanks for reading this--we know it’s different than our normal emails full of unicorns and glitter, but we wanted to shed some light on this important issue and hopefully, inspire action.  Please do what you can to make your workplaces safe, fair, and equitable for all, and, as always, thanks for your support!

Cheers,
Jaime & Sarah

Fire Relief

10/18/2017

0 Comments

 
UPDATE: We've raised over $3400 for North Bay Fire relief!  Thank you so much to everyone who contributed.  We'll continue our efforts with North Bay Flights every Sunday ($10 of each going to fire relief efforts), and we look forward to contributing to other causes in the New Year too!

​When we decided to open Wine Down, we made a conscious decision to support other small local businesses by featuring a menu of California wine, Bay Area beer, and local food.  We’ve created close relationships with many of these producers and consider them part of the greater Wine Down team, so it’s been incredibly difficult to watch the fires affect the lives and livelihoods of our friends and greater team members.
 
Right now, it’s hard for anyone in the Bay Area to ignore these fires; it’s in the news, we can see the smoke, and our lungs hurt.  But, when the media moves on and the smoke clears, let’s all try to remember the people and businesses affected by these fires will only be in the early phases of putting the pieces back together.
 
During the coming months, our North Bay community will need us more than ever.
 
Starting immediately, we’re taking monetary donations at Wine Down, with the goal of raising thousands of dollars for fire victims.  When you’re closing out your tab, just let us know how much you’d like to donate. And we’ll match it.
 
We’ve also heard from many of our partners that one of the easiest ways we can all support the community is to buy products from the area. If they can continue to sell their goods, they can continue to pay their employees, rebuild, and return to normalcy as quickly as possible.  So, while our full menu supports the local industry, we’ll also sell bottles (to enjoy here or to-go) from small North Bay wineries and donate 100% of proceeds to fire relief.
 
We’ll also roll out new support efforts throughout the rest of the year as news and needs evolve.
 
Let’s continue celebrating and enjoying the best of California.
 
Cheers,
Jaime & Sarah
