[Justice for Migrant Women @mujerxsrising]

Did you know that today is #BlackWomensEqualPay Day? Black women lose almost 𝟏 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 dollars to the #WageGap over a lifetime of work. Yet, Black women are on the frontlines during #COVID19 -- both at work and at home. It's time to pay up and close the wage gap!

[Black Citizen @blackcitizenCA]

Today is Black Woman’s #EqualPay Day. Yes, there is still more work to do!!! “The future of work can be successful for women of color if companies and organizations are willing to partner on the road to success.” https://t.co/i9AA5tSmXO

[Black Citizen @blackcitizenCA]

We can’t get comfortable. Although much progress had been made, this is proof there’s so much more work to do.

Hate crimes soared against Black Californians. Were Trump, racist backlash to blame?
