Did you see
Ayanna’s recent op-ed in the Boston Globe?
In partnership with Darlene Lombos, executive secretary-treasurer of the
Greater Boston Labor Council, Ayanna wrote about the steps needed to
realize racial and economic justice for Black workers.
Here’s an excerpt from the piece »
Another Black History Month has passed, but the dignity, humanity, and
contributions of Black communities must be recognized year-round. If the
country’s resolve for change is to succeed, if we believe that Black Lives
Matter, we must go beyond celebratory T-shirts, TV ads, and social media
posts. We must recommit to our shared struggle. To truly address racial
injustice in our country, employers must invest in Black workers in ways that
are meaningful to Black workers, not just to a company’s reputation.
While big corporations spend billions of dollars to market themselves as
diverse and inclusive, few invest the resources necessary to tackle the racial
and economic inequities their employees face every day within the workplace.
Civil rights and worker rights go hand-in-hand, and there must be tangible
ways to expand opportunity and create the conditions that allow all Black
workers to thrive. That means embracing the fact that being pro-equity and
pro-justice means being pro-worker, and that economic justice is racial
justice.
Economic and racial justice are inextricably linked. And Ayanna will continue to
advocate and legislate for policies and practices that reflect the
invaluable contributions of Black workers.
Thank you for being a part of our work for progress,
