The streets were eerily quiet, shops were closed, trains and buses were nearly empty. No, it’s not New York City in the pandemic shutdown. It was Mexico City on March 9th experiencing a “day without women.” Imagine if New York, or any U.S. city – experienced “a day without black people.”
Without black women and men, we would not have a country, or any buildings, or any infrastructure, or a functioning economy, or healthcare system, or schools.
Because women of color earn so much less, they also have less savings to fall back on, which are the resources that might carry them through a crisis, such as a pandemic-economic shutdown.
