Black Women's Equal Pay Day Isn't A Celebration. It's a Call to Action
If we are to make any progress toward a just, inclusive, multiracial economy and democracy, we must shift power toward Black women.
September 21 is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, the day the average Black woman in America will finally—after nine extra months of work—catch up to the pay the average white man received in 2021.
I long for the day when everyone in our economy is thriving because it is just, fair and equitable. Imagine an economy that values gender parity and fosters control and influence from those who have been historically marginalized, particularly Black women. That economy would be inclusive, strong, and beneficial for everyone. Sadly, today is not that day.
