8:34Now PlayingOn Friday, The Black Women's Roundtable released their report, Black Women in the United States, 2019 "Centering Black Women & Girls Leadership & Public Policy Agenda in a Polarized Era".
Key observations from the BWR report:
- Over seventy-percent (70%) of Black women surveyed rated the following issues as very important: Affordable Health Care; Criminal Justice/Policing Reform; Equal Rights and Equal Pay; Hate Crimes/Racism; Jobs/Employment; and Voting Rights.
- Black women made it clear that their top policy priorities were Protecting the Safety Net Programs (Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid) as well as access to Affordable Healthcare.
- According to the most recent federal data, Black girls' 12% suspension rate is much higher than girls of any other race and most boys; and research shows that dark girls are suspended and expelled more harshly than those with lighter skin.
- Algorithms used by big tech companies and other industries contribute to racial profiling and the systemic and institutional sexism, racism and discrimination that marginalizes Black women and makes them vulnerable victims to these algorithms' ability to decrease opportunities for employment, housing, credit, education and health care--which harms the economic wealth and well-being of Black women, their families and communities.
