Great things on the docket this week. @mntechassoc Jumpstart on Tues. Excited to moderate a convo about nontraditional talent! Featuring leaders from @usbank @AllyantGlobal @spscommerce & Ostra Cybersecurity. mntech.org/jumpstart-q3-2… @fullstackstp @RamseyCounty @cityofsaintpaul

Racial wage disparities are largely driven by occupational segregation. + Only ONE of the top 10 occupations for Hispanic workers was family sustaining + Only TWO for Black and multi-racial workers + SEVEN for Asian and white workers Learn more: bit.ly/CEI-Standing-i…

While just over half of MN's 2.8 million workers are paid at least a family sustaining wage, Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous Minnesotans are the least likely to be paid one. Learn more + why it matters: bit.ly/CEI-Standing-i…

Providing family sustaining wages for essential workers in Minnesota – jobs disproportionately held by women of color – also benefits employers and our overall state economy. More: bit.ly/CEI-Standing-i… #familysustainingwages #jobs #research #wagegap #WealthBuilding

To our non-Indigenous allies, ask yourself, ask your local municipalities, your universities, your churches, your parents, grandparents, and every person in your circle of influence: “But are you giving Land Back?” #EarthDay #LANDBACK #NDNCollective

I have the receipts folks. Let's have a proper debate on the issues. The Business Plan for America. Looking forward to coming back on @CNBC @SquawkCNBC to discuss this in long form. 👏🏽🙏🏽

When Black people talk about “generational curses” we often mean the manifestation and effects of both structural racism and the afterlives of slavery. It ain’t demons we’re fighting my loves, but antiBlack policy choices, laws & customs that order & disorder the way we live and die.

An inclusive regional economy would compensate workers adequately for their time and enable workers of all races and ethnicities to access highly paid professions, resulting in equitable average wages across racial and ethnic groups. #InclusiveEconomy #RacialEquity

Too many of Minnesota’s Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, and Asian adult workers are earning wages that don’t allow them to prosper in our economy. Explore the #Indicators for an Inclusive Regional Economy. SEE the racial wealth gap through data: …cators.centerforeconomicinclusion.org

While women of color face unique barriers in the workforce, resulting in lower pay and fewer opportunities for career advancement, today we celebrate hope and perseverance of women who have faced discrimination head-on. Happy International Women's Day. 2/2
