Race & Ethnicity in Poverty & Inequality – RU-N

For those who are always living in a time of fracture

In our capitalist and male dominated society, women are left to be the most vulnerable. When trying to initiate change and while engaging in dialogue, we must consider that womxn of color specifically are the backbone of our society and that they are those who are constantly living in a time of fracture.

For those who are always living in a time of fracture

I feel as though this contribution is necessary to get other contributors/viewers to consider those who are most vulnerable really in any society. Once this shift in thinking is facilitated, then that's when we can truly begin to change as a society and give a seat to those who are most marginalized.

Over 350 Groups Urge US House Leadership To Back H.R. 40

We, the undersigned organizations, firmly believe that addressing pervasive anti-Black racism and providing reparations, long overdue, cannot wait another day, month, year, or decade. We are in a once-in-a-lifetime moment that we cannot let slip away if we are to begin the process of righting the country’s wrongs. Voters will remember what Congress did and did not do when it had the power to act. It has that power now. It should ask itself: How do we want history to remember us?

Over 350 Groups Urge US House Leadership To Back H.R. 40
