D.C. Workers Deserve Stronger Paid Leave
by National Partnership Staff | Jul 13, 2021 | Paid Leave
Black and brown people in D.C. have seen some of the worst racial disparities in COVID-19 deaths and vaccinations in the country. At the same time, the national economic fallout of the pandemic hit communities of color the hardest: people of color, particularly women, disproportionately worked in industries hit by pandemic-related closures, layoffs and reduced hours. And that is on top of the longstanding health and economic racial disparities that already existed before the pandemic.

Discontinuity in How We Value Immigrant Labor
by Emma Flores | Jun 29, 2021 | Fair Pay
National Immigrant Heritage Month is an opportunity to recognize the exceptional historic contributions immigrants have made in this country, or perhaps for some, even grapple with anti-immigrant attitudes and rhetoric that continue to marginalize and scapegoat those communities.

Rachel Reads: Ooh! She Got Money!
by Rachel Hicks | Jun 18, 2021 | Fair Pay
Black women face a unique struggle at the intersection of race and gender as it pertains to advancing their professional careers. They are systematically held at specific positions or levels in the workplace, and not always given opportunities to advance. My story is similar.

The Biden Administration’s First 100 Days and Their Impact on Women
by Nikki Wolfrey | Apr 29, 2021 | Reproductive Rights
In many ways, Biden has women — and especially women of color — to thank for his victory in the 2020 election. And by selecting the first woman and person of color to serve as Vice President and nominating a record number of women, including nine women of color, to his cabinet, the Biden Administration has signaled a willingness to prioritize women and the issues that impact us.

Why the EACH Act Matters for Medicaid Beneficiaries
by Caroline Le | Mar 26, 2021 | Reproductive Rights
We need to strengthen Medicaid. With a new administration and Congress moving on key legislative priorities, now is the time. Strengthening Medicaid means increasing access to abortion and reproductive care. Abortion access is often an afterthought among the health advocacy community, but without abortion access, Medicaid coverage cannot ensure the overall well-being of people that may become pregnant.

Anti-Asian Sentiment in America Is Not New
by Zilana Lee | Mar 25, 2021 | Other
When I briefly heard a report on television about the shootings that took place last week at three spa locations in Atlanta with no detail about who the victims were, I was first angry about the persistent gun violence plaguing this country.

The COVID-19 vaccine is here, but what does this mean for pregnant people?
by Sheeba Pawar | Jan 15, 2021 | Maternal Health
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in nearly 50,000 cases and more than 60 deaths among pregnant people across the United States. And these numbers will surely increase as infections continue to surge over the winter months.
