I'm an anthropologist currently at historic Olivewood Cemetery, which is Houston's oldest remaining African American cemetery. Established in 1875, more than 1/4 of the population at rest were enslaved.

Black women are down 297,000, but men’s gains have surged to +621,000. That’s a 324,000 widening of the gender gap in two months—a 34% jump. Since February, the swing between black women’s losses and men’s gains approaches 1 million jobs.

341,000 Black women are still missing from the labor force since the pandemic began. This is the most educated female cohort in the country, and more than half are breadwinners for households with children. Erasing their economic participation undercuts today’s stability and tomorrow’s workforce.

these forced exits alone are draining an estimated $9.2 billion from U.S. GDP this year. These aren’t just missing paychecks; they represent lost productivity, lost tax revenue, and diminished national output.

Not the hill you'd die on, but you expect those of us who will die on that hill to politely stretch our necks for the knife.
"This issue" is our lives.
You vote us down, you are dying on the next hill. That's not a threat. It's the pattern of history.
