More than 10 months into the #COVID19 induced “she-cession,” women have lost a net of 5.4 million jobs–nearly 1 million more jobs than men.

Policymakers must pass bold, structural policy changes that prioritize women & their families’ economic security.

We know that women, especially women of color, were already struggling to manage work and care before the pandemic.

Now, women, esp. Black & Hispanic women are working in jobs deemed essential while also bearing the brunt of increased caregiving.
We're already witnessing the long-term harm to racial, gender, and economic equity as the "she-cession" worsens.

Last December’s #JobsDay data revealed that women lost all the nonfarm payroll jobs while Black, Hispanic, & Asian women accounted for all of the women’s job losses.

This January, @VP Kamala Harris made history as the first woman,Black person,& Indian American VP.

Now, it's our responsibility to root out systemic biases that shut out Black women & other women of color from leadership roles in all of our institutions.

We must not only celebrate Madam Vice president but also use this moment to push for a call to action.

In all segments of society, we have to redefine what leadership looks like, re-examine our power structures, reject double standards, & center WOC as the benchmark of progress.
This #Blackhistorymonth and beyond, policymakers must prioritize issues that disproportionately impact Black women & other women of color like the gender wage gap and maternal and infant mortality.
