This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

Unemployment among Black women is now at 7.5% — rising for the third straight month.

I'm in Boston today to sound the alarm and discuss how we can address the impact of this crisis in Massachusetts and beyond.

I'm fighting for our workers to get the back pay they deserve, and my Fair Pay for Federal Contractors Act would do just that. Congress should pass our bill immediately.

🚨The unemployment rate for Black women is now 7.5%.

These damning numbers confirm that under Trump, Black women face a crisis of disproportionately high unemployment.

He must end his racist & reckless economic policies that are harming our economy.

And the Fed must act to address this crisis.
Today’s jobs report shows Black women’s unemployment is 7.5%, rising for the 3rd month in a row.

Economic security isn’t about how many jobs exist—it’s about who has access to them. As we pointed out in September, Black women are too often still shut out: www.demos.org/blog/one-num...
One Number Can't Explain the Economy, but the Black Women's Unemployment Rate is a Good Place to Start | Demos
For decades, labor market data has shown a difficult truth: Our economy has never worked for everyone—especially Black women.

I warned that private equity taking over Walgreens would be bad for workers.

This is the private equity playbook: they hollow out businesses, cheat their workers, and drive them into the ground.

Red Lobster, Toys "R" Us, and Joann Fabrics. Who’s next?
Report: Walgreens cuts hourly workers’ pay for 6 major holidays
The hourly employees will only be paid if they work on those holidays.
