.Rep. Katie Porter “When institutions like Congress perpetuate long standing social disparities for women, is there a term for that”

Me: “I believe it’s call patriarchy.”

Thank you Rep Porter for underscoring the structural sexism& racism of our underinvestment in care.

I want to submit into evidence this photo from October to make the case that the 2023 ring of fire eclipse was (1) also terrific and (2) had a great Johnny Cash soundtrack (absolutely no shade to Bonnie Tyler).

What a great end to my first week at IWPR!! Spent all day talking about care, labor, and economics at #careconference , including a plenary moderated by my friend and boss Dr. Jamila Taylor!

Striking finds from Martha Susana Jaimes, Ph.D. and Siavash Radpour on the HUGE retirement savings gap facing women - larger than the annual earnings gap while working. #careconference IWPR

For me, like so many people, care work is personal. My grandmother worked at a nursing home when I was growing up. It was a difficult job & she lived paycheck-to-paycheck. It was also, as many care jobs are, filled with moments of joy. #CareCantWait npwf.info/3J63tsH

1000% true! #JobsDay

We have to be laser focused on this is we want an economy that works for all.
