1. Thank your for the article.

I worked for 30 years in a Detroit auto plant along side many of these great women. I have faith in them.

3. Excellent read.

That should be on the reading list of our Democratic candidates.

I lift up one small part:

Detroit resident and media executive Fortman speaks of the need to hear politicians address the impact of policy on the financial well-being of Black women and their families: “In a city like Detroit, where Black women lead households more often than not, you cannot separate the term working-class from Blackness and certainly not from Black women. It is important to remember how many women are now heads of household.”
She adds, “If they are ignoring that conversation, they’re likely not going to motivate a large swath of the population that holds the purse strings in their household.”
