Together the Trump Administration and the Post Master General have plotted to STEAL the #2020Election through #votersuppression through the vote-by-mail process. And because of these attacks on our democracy, the @NAACP is taking the #PostMasterGeneral to court #DeliverDemocracy

[NAACP Economics @NAACPecon]

Hmm.

Uber and Lyft will suspend service in California on Friday, after a court ordered them to treat drivers as employees.

That would have given drivers access to benefits like sick pay and a minimum wage. In court, the companies argued drivers aren't essential to their business.

BREAKING: 1.1 million Americans filed *new* unemployment claims last week, an increase of 135,000 from the week before.

This is a red flag that layoffs remain high.

28 million Americans were receiving UI benefits at start of August --when Congress let the $600/week aid expire

Stemming from under representation, discrimination, lack of managerial/executive support for growth, various levels of micro-aggressions, and so much more at the workplace - we must advocate for Black women to earn #equalpay and to work in a safe space.

[NAACP Economics @NAACPecon]

Today is Black Women’s #EqualPay Day - meaning Black women had to work all of 2019 and this far into today to earn what white men earned LAST YEAR.

[NAACP Economics @NAACPecon]

While we celebrate that this is the first week, in a 20 week span, that new UI claims were under 1 million, we must also focus on the restoration of job and health security across the US.
