Woke is, in Republican hands, the othering call of fascism. Fix nothing and accept unlivable inequities and minority rule. Imagine if the GOP put as much effort into solving a problem as they do into besmirching history, decency, community and kindness.

Due to minimum hour, tenure, and firm size requirements, most Latinx (66.9%), Black (60.2%), and White (55.3%) workers are ineligible or likely to be unable to afford to take unpaid leave. Adopting a comprehensive, inclusive policy and closing gaps in break legislation would remove work-related barriers; reduce racial, ethnic, and gender ; and align U.S. national policies with global norms.

🏛 Governments have a duty to combat poverty and , to ensure that everyone receives the economic, social, health-related, and psychological support that they need. 🔴

Numerous studies have shown that societies with lower levels of social and economic inequality are better prepared to respond to crises. When people are economically safe it is also easier for them to support others.
