👋🏽, Systemic Equality Agenda! Our partner @ACLU launched an ambitious plan to end systemic inequality, including: ✅hire Black-owned/Black-led contractors & consultants ✅invest in #BlackOwned financial institutions & businesses ✅build the next group of underrepresented leaders

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! This month, like every month, it’s critical we close the #racialwealthgap between white and Black Americans. We remain focused on this work to improve all aspects of Black life.

RIP to our beloved friend, bell hooks, who changed the world one word at a time. Here’s a profound convo between bell hooks & @profjohnapowell, titled: Belonging Through Connection #OBI #Belonging #bellhooks #blackfeminism youtu.be/0sX7fqIU4gQ

#DYK @WashingtonNFL launched an #employeeresourcegroup, Black Engagement Network, to create an inclusive & uplifting culture for their African-American employees? This aligns with #NinetyToZero Action: Establish employee resource groups with C-suite equivalent champions.

Congrats to #NinetyToZero partner @McKinsey! From 2020-2021, they achieved a record-breaking 80% increase in global Black recruiting 🎉 Establish internal goals for hiring Black talent and measure progress is one of #NinetyToZero's 7 Actions. #wealthgap mckinsey.com/careers/meet-o…

When we talk about the #racialwealthgap, how is *wealth* defined? 🏘 Community context 💰 Family wealth 💸 Family income 🏦Family savings Source: The economic impact of closing the #racialwealthgap, @McKinsey (mckinsey.com/industries/pub…) #NinetytoZero

Our public policy often overlooks wealth. We tend to focus our economic policies on income alone. That blind spot prevents us from addressing the root causes of social inequality. nyti.ms/3mPaNP7

It can be hard for managers to remove bias from the hiring process. They may think they're evaluating each candidate fairly, but a @Wharton study shared with #NinetyToZero partners shows how easy it is for implicit bias to creep in. 🔗About NinetyToZero: ninetytozero.org
