Building equitable & thriving economies starts with addressing the historical marginalization of Black women in policy decisions. @WhitTucks explains how applying a #BlackWomenBest framework to state tax policy will lead to better outcomes for all people: cbpp.org/research/state…
It’s time states build an economy that works for *everyone* by applying a #BlackWomenBest framework to center Black women in tax policy: cbpp.org/research/state…
It’s 2024. We know that Black women face different challenges when it comes to pregnancy and childbirth. Pre- and post-natal care should reflect that. Period. #BlackMaternalHealthWeek #BMHW
To be considered for the Michigan Tuition Grant, students must submit their 2024-25 FAFSA by July 1! Fill out your FAFSA at fafsa.gov!
Black women’s labor has fueled economic progress since the nation’s earliest days, yet policy decisions continue to sideline them from sharing prosperity.
State tax policy is not race-neutral; in many ways, it functions as a support system that upholds whiteness in politics & prosperity. Centering Black women means dismantling policies that protect & grow white advantage & obstruct Black women’s economic empowerment.
In practice, that means states will have to take two crucial steps: examining the specific economic barriers Black women face, and developing tax policies that are explicitly designed to remove those barriers.
States need to implement more equitable revenue-raising policies & invest in both income & wealth supports to address intersecting gender, racial, income, & wealth gaps — where Black women sit at the center.
Applying a #BlackWomenBest framework allows policymakers to address historical harms & uplift those who have been marginalized, paving the way for opportunity & prosperity for all people.
States should prioritize Black women’s well-being in their tax codes by: ✅Promoting income stability for Black women ✅Shifting how revenue policies influence wealth-building ✅Enacting bolder, fairer, revenue-raising policies ✅Removing barriers to raising add'l revenue
