Friend --
Grab your lunch and join us today at 2:00 pm ET for a conversation with Black women in the labor movement. We’ll be unpacking what the current pandemic and uprising means for Black women in labor.

We are over three months into a global pandemic but also a historic economic pain. Black women now are facing extraordinary levels of unemployment.
- Black women are more than 30% more likely to be out of work during the pandemic than white men.
- Black women are more likely to be working as essential workers – in conditions that are unfair, unsafe, and without premium pay or in many cases protections like paid sick days or family leave.
All of this is happening in the midst of a child care system that is not set up for this period, and may not be around to come back on the other side.
It’s time to shine a light—Black women ARE essential.
#TheSipHour Power Lunch TODAY at 2:00 pm ET with special guests:
- C. Nicole Mason Ph.D., President & CEO, Institute for Women’s Policy Research
- Gabby Seay, Director of Political Action, 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East

Don't’ forget, #TheSip gathers each week for a Power Lunch on Wednesdays, Happy Hour on Fridays and Sunday Brunch with Higher Heights connecting Black women to thought-leaders and innovators across sectors from government, non-profit and corporate to entertainment, culture and lifestyle.
We hope you will join us this Friday at 5:00 pm ET for our special Juneteenth edition of The Sip, as well as Sunday at 2:00 pm ET for our Father's Day edition.
See you at lunch!
Onward,
