Justice 4 All Includes Women of Color: End The Consequences of Concurrent Racism Plus Sexism
Require the specific, identified inclusion of women of color, by ethnic/cultural groups in all government programs, especially in education and training, small business support, census data and reports, EEOC, OCR, OFCCP, SBA, Dept of Agriculture, Arts Agencies, HUD, US State Dept/International Opportunities, US Dept of Commerce, Centers for Disease Control and Health Agencies, including compliance reviews to investigate complaints of exclusion.
Why is this important?
Until the unique experience of concurrent racism plus sexism is ended for women of color, women of color cannot move from the socio-economic bottom of society where 48% of housing foreclosures are women of color; women of color are dying at the highest level from every curable disease; only one woman of color has ever been in the US Senate; and 61% of Asian American, 74% of African American, and 75% of Latina American women over 65 cannot meet their basic needs for food, shelter, health care or employment. If there is no justice for women of color, society cannot be just. Freedom cannot be divided nor given to some while others are left out.
