[Zoraima @zoraimadp]

To THRIVE and not just survive women in Texas need a statewide eviction moratorium until 7.2021, LIVING wages for care giving professionals, quality affordable childcare and housing, and a statewide retirement savings program for ALL Texans. @IWPResearch #GenderEquitableRecovery

[Zoraima @zoraimadp]

Prior to COVID19 women were financially, physically and emotionally stretched with no margin. Working women were already living pay-check to paycheck, suffering from high rates of income volatility and relying on predatory loans to survive. @IWPResearch #GenderEquitableRecovery

Q2 #GenderEquitableRecovery

[Zoraima @zoraimadp]

Women in Texas-Mexico border persistent poverty counties are facing a dual crisis of prolonged income insecurity and chronic physical illness. Women are burned by the threat of eviction, and how to feed and protect their kids as COVID19 surges. @IWPR #GenderEquitableRecovery
