@SuJinJez @AsmCervantes @tonisymonds @jillrep i loved your quote "it's the wild wild west" so true! grateful for your leadership and partnership across various policy efforts to change that!

[heddy nam @heddynam]

it was great talking to @jillrep about non-degree credential options to help people get into living wage career pathways. the landscape is confusing, which doesn't advance us to economic equity & inclusion. i'm glad i get to work at @letsunitela with @credengine to change that.

Really enjoyed learning how a public investment in early childhood education not only helps fight poverty but is good for the economy too!

Read our latest @Forbes op-ed, co-authored by @heddynam, our Director of Talent Development, and Reena De Asis, @redfworks LA:RISE Program and Partnership Manager! The op-ed gives businesses 3 key ways to dismantle racism in the workplace. https://t.co/pdbvOs16Jl

“For the most part, the racial wage gaps by education have actually increased in this period of time, something that signals evidence of continuing and perhaps worsening racial discrimination in the labor market.” - @Prof_MPastor

#OpportunityEmployment #EconomicEquity

[UNITE-LA @letsunitela]

“If we could eliminate the racial disparities by closing the education, documentation & discrimination gap, that could be a $350 billion boost to the local #LA economy.” We’re talking #DiversityEquityInclusion & #OpportunityEmployment with @Prof_MPastor & @ameliajransom this AM!

[heddy nam @heddynam]

According to @Prof_MPastor, the median income in L.A. County of White households w/children under 5 is more than 2x the median income available to Black & Latino households w/children under 5 #racialeconomicinequality #opportunityemployment

[heddy nam @heddynam]

According to @Prof_MPastor's research, Black & Latino workers are concentrated in jobs where they have to physically show up to work (therefore more likely to catch COVID-19) AND concentrated in jobs where they're more likely to get laid off #opportunityemployment

[Emily Hanning @emily_hanning]

According to @Prof_MPastor Productivity in the US has improved by 72% while hourly wages have only increased 14% since 1979 #OpportunityEmployment

[Reena De Asis @reenadeasis]

Thank you @Prof_MPastor @ameliajransom for contributing to a key discussion on #opportunityemployment 🤝

ACA 5 will be on the CA ballot this November! Let's overturn Prop 209 and provide equitable opportunities to all Californians, especially communities of color. #AAPI in support of #ACA5 and #AffirmativeAction

[L.A. Compact @lacompact]

Excited that CA voters will have the opportunity in November to reinstate affirmative action, a critical tool for advancing education equity that is supported by many L.A. Compact partners https://t.co/O9a9O6EZOE

I can't even, but still reposting this video so folks stay woke to the racism in Los Angeles (Torrance is part of our County).

[Phil Yu @angryasianman]

Another sighting! More racisms! “This is our country,” she says. No, lady. TORRANCE IS ASIAN COUNTRY.
