Several members of the U.S. Congress, including Rep. Robin Kelly, Rep. Shontel Brown, Rep. Jackson, Rep. Yvette Clarke, and Rep. McClellan, have introduced and supported the bipartisan Protect Black Women and Girls Act. The act aims to address systemic inequalities faced by Black women and girls in various aspects of life, such as housing, education, workforce, healthcare, and the criminal justice system.
For every US dollar that a white man earns in the United States, Black women are paid 67 cents. That’s why I’m joining @RepRobinKelly in supporting the Protect Black Women and Girls Act. We must address the systemic inequalities that Black women and girls face every day.
I stood with @RepRobinKelly, @RepBonnie, @RepYvetteClarke and @ValerieFoushee to introduce the Protect Black Women and Girls Act. It will help address disparities Black women face in housing, education, the workforce, health care and the criminal justice system. https://t.co/9vhn9NhVQc
