ALSO IN THE HEADLINES – A lifetime first. Rep. Joyce Beatty joined protesters this weekend in her Ohio district. While protesting in Columbus, Beatty was pepper-sprayed by police. It was the first time the 70-year-old congresswoman, with a long history participating in civil rights demonstrations, had been confronted with the police tactic. The Atlantic – Love thy neighbor. After President Trump posed for a photo with a Bible in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Right Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, registered her anger. “I am outraged,” Budde said. “I am the bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and was not given even a courtesy call, that they would be clearing [the area] with tear gas so they could use one of our churches as a prop.” Washington Post – Next chapter. A new report from the Working Mother Research Institute found that 50% of women of color are considering leaving their companies within the next two years.

Working Mother – Money talks. As companies make financial commitments in the wake of George Floyd’s death and protests across the country, one notable pledge came from Glossier, led by founder and CEO Emily Weiss.

The other $500,000 is intended to support black-owned beauty businesses.
