Black women working full-time, year-round earned only 61 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men in 2017. Due to this wage gap, black women stand to lose nearly $1 million over a 40-year career.https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/22/heres-how-the-gender-wage-gap-affects-this-minority-group.html …

This wage gap hurts Black women & damages the economic security of Black families. It's time for Congress to take concrete action to strengthen
#equalpay protections and combat discriminatory pay practices.#BlackWomenCantWait for#PaycheckFairnessShow this thread -
There's only one way to challenge pay discrimination: change the law. Earlier this year, the House passed the
#PaycheckFairness Act, an important first step towards ensuring that Black women are paid fairly for their work.#PayBlackWomenpic.twitter.com/Siqjh37IXm

Doing research for my show and looking
through the @NatUrbanLeague public documents and Comcast executives are on the Urban League board. This is crazy! How can we expect a Supreme Court Amicus brief with any teeth if Comcast is on your board?@MARCMORIAL#ados pic.twitter.com/LdHsgQSAHVShow this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
