?? **New Study Alert!** ?? We're excited to share our latest research paper, a collaborative study done with The Rustandy Center for Social Sector Innovation at UChicago through the Net Impact Board Fellow program. This research uncovers critical disparities in the insurance marketplace that disproportionately affect social justice organizations. Over recent years, the insurance industry has seen: ?? Tightened underwriting criteria ?? Rising premiums ?? Reduced insurance capacity These changes have created significant challenges for organizations dedicated to supporting marginalized communities. With steep premiums and limited insurance options, these organizations are facing financial and legal burdens that threaten their ability to serve vulnerable populations. Our study, incorporating insights from insurance experts, academics, and direct testimonies from affected organizations, highlights: ?? Systemic challenges within the insurance industry ?? The urgent need for inclusive reforms ?? Recommendations for cultural change to better support social justice organizations This research paper is a call to action for the insurance industry to evolve and become more inclusive and supportive of organizations driving social justice. ?? Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/gjb577tE Join us in advocating for a fair and equitable insurance marketplace that empowers social justice organizations to continue their vital work. Together, we can make a difference! ? A special thank you and acknowledgement to Isra Syed Hussain and Lucky Ilodigwe for their dedicated work on this project. We could not have done this without you! #Insurance #SocialJustice #Inclusion #Research #Nonprofit #InsuranceIndustry #Equality #SocialImpact #RustandyCenter #InsureEquality #CheersToChange

Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, the day of the year when Black women finally make as much as their non-Hispanic wh.ite male counterparts did at the end of 2023. ??“Based on ACS Census data, the 2024 wage gap for Black women compared to non-Hispanic white men is $0.69 (cents).” ??This is not a day of celebration for Black women but a day for us all to contemplate why this pay gap exists and how it devalues Black women and take action. Compared with other women in the United States, Black women have consistently had the highest levels of PAID labor market participation (this does not include centuries of unpaid labor due to enslavement) regardless of age, marital status, or presence of children at home. However, we are disproportionately represented in some of the most hazardous and lowest-wage occupations in healthcare such as CNAs and home health aides. (This is by design) The average wage across the top ten most common occupations for Black women was $30,200 compared to $80,500 for wh.ite, non-Hispanic men’s ten most common occupations. [source: National Partnership for Women and Families] At the same time: ????3 of 4 Black mothers are breadwinners for their families (married or single) ??????Black women, one year after obtaining a bachelor's degree, have the highest average federal undergraduate student debt of $38,800 compared to other groups. ????♂?????♀?Year after year workplace studies by LeanIn and Mckinsey indicate that Black women are having some of the worst experiences in the workplace. From experiencing all-out racism, microaggressions, gaslighting, lack of promotion opportunities, and access to leadership roles which also impacts their ability to be paid equitably. This is a problem and contemplation is no longer enough it is time for us to move from awareness to action. ??Organizations Examine salary parity across gender AND race, make the data visible and work to close the gap Post salary information in job descriptions Remove stigma in sharing salaries Advance Black women to leadership positions Increase wages for caregiver and service-level roles Provide opportunities for front-line staff and those in service-level roles to get the tools they need to move to different areas of the organization Provide good insurance benefits, tuition reimbursement, paid parental leave, child care subsidy Ensure that your culture is psychologically safe for Black women ???????????????Allies Share your salary with Black women in similar roles Sponsor Black women Urge members of Congress to swiftly pass the Paycheck Fairness Act, and co-sponsor the BE HEARD in the Workplace Act (Links w/more info in comments) ????♀?Black Women Know your worth, ask for it! If you feel afraid, invest in the tools and resources you need to gain confidence asking. Go where you are valued not tolerated.
