Month: March 2026

WASHINGTON, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In AAUW’s report, The (Not So) Simple Truth About the Gender Pay Gap, new analysis makes clear that pay inequity is not abstract — it affects women’s earnings in every congressional district across the country and costs women, families, and the economy.

Women working full-time in the United States earn just 81 cents for every dollar earned by men, leading to an estimated $542,800 in lost earnings over a 40-year career. While the size of the gap varies, women earn less than men in nearly every congressional district. Those losses make it harder for women to pay bills, build wealth, support families, save for retirement, and achieve economic security. For women of color, mothers, LGBTQ+ women, and women with disabilities, the gaps are even wider.

AAUW’s research shows that the pay gap is driven by many factors, including occupational segregation, unequal access to high-quality jobs, caregiving responsibilities, and persistent discrimination. The report also highlights the role education plays in women’s economic mobility. Women with higher levels of education earn more over their lifetimes, yet pay gaps remain even among college graduates and those with advanced degrees.

“The data shows that women’s economic security depends on more than individual choices — it depends on policy choices,” said Gloria L. Blackwell, AAUW CEO. “If we want to close the pay gap, we need to protect pathways to education, enforce fair pay and anti-discrimination laws, and remove the barriers that keep too many women from being paid what they deserve.”

Equal Pay Day illustrates the gender pay gap and the reality that women, on average, are paid less than men. Additional Equal Pay Days throughout the year highlight the even deeper inequities experienced by many communities of women, including Black women, Latina women, Native women, and others.

AAUW (American Association of University Women) is one of the nation’s leading organizations for equity in higher education and women’s economic empowerment. Founded in 1881 by women who defied society’s conventions by earning college degrees, AAUW has since worked to increase women’s access, opportunity, and equity in higher education through research, advocacy, and philanthropy of over $146 million, supporting thousands of women scholars.

The Largest Commercial Organic Fertilizer Manufacturer on the West Coast Expands into Premium Soils, Launching Seven Specialized Blends at Retail Locations Across the Western U.S.

MONTEREY, Calif., March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — True Organic™, the industry leader in high-performance organic plant nutrition, is proud to announce the launch of the True Organic Potting and Planting Collection. Founded in 2003, True Organic is the largest organic fertilizer company on the West Coast, built on a foundation of high-performance nutrients that have been trusted by professional farmers for more than twenty years. By combining this legacy of agricultural excellence with a new premium line of soils, True Organic ensures that every home gardener – from apartment dwellers to backyard gardening hobbyists – now has access to the same nutrient-dense foundations used by the world’s largest organic farms. The collection joins True Organic’s existing lineup of retail products, building on the success of the fertilizers and soil amendments first introduced in 2021. It is debuting at select retail locations across the Western U.S. including Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.

“If you’re committed to growing organic food, the integrity of your harvest begins long before the first sprout,” says Ray Sidey, Business Development Manager for True Organic. “You can’t build a truly organic life on a synthetic foundation, and we believe that if the seed is organic, the soil must be too. We’ve spent two decades working with the country’s largest organic farms, and now we’re bringing that same uncompromising organic standard to every home with our ready-to-use soils.”

Distinctly Different: Innovation Inside and Out

The True Organic Potting and Planting Collection offers ethically sourced, upcycled ingredients that prioritize soil health as the root of all vitality. The collection integrates True Organic’s fertilizers directly into specialized soil blends that are engineered for immediate, farm-quality success featuring:

• Eco-Friendly Ingredients: True Organic uses high-quality Coco Coir (coconut husk) as a sustainable alternative to peat moss. Unlike peat, which is harvested from environmentally sensitive bogs, Coco Coir is a renewable resource that provides superior aeration and moisture retention.
• Biochar for Healthy Root Development: Select blends incorporate biochar, a naturally porous carbon that improves soil structure, enhances moisture retention, and creates habitat for beneficial microbes.
• Pre-Fertilized for a Strong Start: Every mix is infused with True Organic’s world-class organic fertilizer, providing plants with the essential nutrients they need to thrive from the moment they are planted.
• Modern, Stand-Out Packaging: The collection features bold, modern packaging designed to stand out in garden centers while clearly displaying ingredients and soil composition. The approach reflects True Organic’s commitment to helping gardeners understand exactly what goes into the soil that grows their food.

Blends for Every Pot, Planter and Garden

Seven specialized blends are tailored for various types of plants, from indoor houseplants to professional-grade outdoor garden beds, eliminating the need for complex feeding schedules or DIY mixing. New products include:

• Indoor & Outdoor Potting Mix: Perfect for containers and ideal for houseplants, vegetables, and seedlings; enriched with eco-friendly coco coir.
• Vegetable & Herb Potting Mix: For tomatoes, peppers, and herbs; includes gypsum and coco coir for strong, healthy growth.
• Cactus & Succulent Potting Mix: Fast-draining blend ideal for cacti, palms, citrus, and succulents.
• All Purpose Planting Mix: Improves native soil for in-ground planting of trees, shrubs, and flowers while boosting moisture retention.
• Vegetable & Flower Planting Mix: Formulated to boost soil moisture and nutrients for all vegetables and flowering plants and trees.
• Azalea, Camellia & Rhododendron Planting Mix: Specialized blend for acid-loving plants like berries, ferns, and gardenias.
• All Purpose Compost: Adds vital organic matter, improving soil structure and moisture in garden beds.

Accessibility, Safety and Integrity

At the core of the Potting and Planting Collection is a commitment to the same “source-to-soil” transparency that has defined True Organic for two decades. As the only fertilizer brand with globally recognized ISO 22000 food safety certification, True Organic ensures every bag is tested for pathogens, providing unparalleled peace of mind for families growing their own food. The new collection is made in America, verified by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI), and officially registered with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), meeting the highest regulatory standards in the country.

In addition to its product transparency, True Organic believes that high-performance organic gardening should be accessible to everyone, which is why this collection offers a premium entry point without the luxury price tag. Designed to fit a realistic budget for every grower, the collection starts at $7.99, with available volumes ranging from 8 quarts up to 1 or 1.5 cubic feet. Pricing may vary by retailer.

The True Organic Potting and Planting Collection is now available at independent garden centers and major retailers across the Western U.S. Visit the website for retailers.
