There’s a 90% wealth gap between white & Black America. With collective action, we can shrink this so all Americans can thrive. The time is now. #NinetyToZero

👋🏽, Systemic Equality Agenda! Our partner @ACLU launched an ambitious plan to end systemic inequality, including:
✅hire Black-owned/Black-led contractors & consultants
✅invest in #BlackOwned financial institutions & businesses
✅build the next group of underrepresented leaders

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth!

This month, like every month, it’s critical we close the #racialwealthgap between white and Black Americans. We remain focused on this work to improve all aspects of Black life.

#DYK @WashingtonNFL launched an #employeeresourcegroup, Black Engagement Network, to create an inclusive & uplifting culture for their African-American employees?

This aligns with #NinetyToZero Action: Establish employee resource groups with C-suite equivalent champions.

Congrats to #NinetyToZero partner @McKinsey! From 2020-2021, they achieved a record-breaking 80% increase in global Black recruiting 🎉

[Roosevelt Forward @RooseveltFwd]

Our public policy often overlooks wealth. We tend to focus our economic policies on income alone.

That blind spot prevents us from addressing the root causes of social inequality. https://t.co/krVGhqM9VP

[NinetyToZero @NinetytoZero]

It can be hard for managers to remove bias from the hiring process. They may think they're evaluating each candidate fairly, but a @Wharton study shared with #NinetyToZero partners shows how easy it is for implicit bias to creep in.
