“Indigenous students experience sexual assault at a higher rate than any other racial demographic.” Emily Martin, our Chief Program Officer, testified in Congress this week in support of student survivors and steps schools should take to prevent sexual harassment and better support survivors at Haskell Indian Nations University and beyond. Survivors of sexual assault and harassment on campus, including Indigenous student survivors, deserve to be listened to and supported. Period.

We’re excited to announce the recipients of our inaugural Community Impact Fund (CIF)! This community-led grantmaking initiative aims to support nonprofits focused on community building, advocacy, and education at the intersection of child care and economic justice in New Mexico and South Carolina. Our first-ever CIF grants have been awarded to: Partnership for Community Action in New Mexico and The BEE Collective in South Carolina! These amazing organizations are driving change by advocating for better compensation for early childhood educators and enhancing family health equity. A huge thank you to our Design and Advisory Committee members from OLÉ, Semilla Project, Metanoia, YWCA of Greater Charleston, and our community storytellers Patty Ortiz and Chantelle Mitchell who shaped the grant goals over the course of the last year. https://lnkd.in/en7caKat

Today is #BlackWomensEqualPay Day, highlighting the annual pay disparity between Black women and white, non-Hispanic men. Black women working full time, year-round, lose $1,843 each month or $22,120 each year, costing them nearly $900,000 over a 40-year career. In fact, despite educational achievements, Black women still face wage gaps at every level. Black women working full-time, year-round, have to earn a Master’s degree ($72,450) to make more than white, non-Hispanic men with only an Associate’s degree ($67,190). This wage gap prevents Black women from investing in education, buying a home, or saving for retirement, ultimately building generational wealth. The message is clear—pay Black women. #PayMeWhatYouOweMe.

On July 9 at 10 am ET, our President and CEO Fatima Goss Graves will testify before the Senate Finance Committee on the child care crisis in the U.S. and the need for federal investment to better support women, early educators, and businesses. Since federal child care stabilization funding expired last September, it has become even harder for child care programs to serve families and maintain livable wages for staff. We're grateful to Chair Wyden for convening this hearing tomorrow at such a critical time for families and businesses. Join us and watch the hearing here: https://lnkd.in/efTaFsmx

This morning, the Supreme Court officially dismissed Moyle v. US — but make no mistake, the Court deserves absolutely no credit for this decision. This is the bare minimum that pregnant people and providers in Idaho deserve. Read our full statement: https://lnkd.in/g7H-mfck
