Elizabeth Warren pitches executive orders on race and gender pay gap
The Massachusetts senator detailed her latest plan in a post on Medium on Friday, positioning her ideas as moral and economic imperatives.
"Our economy should be working just as hard for women of color as women of color work for our economy and their families," Warren wrote."For decades, the government has helped perpetuate the systemic discrimination that has denied women of color equal opportunities. It's time for the government to try to right those wrongs — and boost our economy in the process."
The proposals by Warren, who also posted to the Essence website , are aimed not only at black women but also at Latina, Asian and Native American women.
