*Summary:*          Bargaining for the Common Good is an intersectional
feminist strategy. In a 2020 piece for The Forge, “We Want Bread and
Housing Too,” Lauren Jacobs, Executive Director of PowerSwitch Action,
Renata Pumerol of the Action Center on Race and the Economy (ACRE), and
Sheri Davis and Marilyn Sneiderman of Rutgers’ Center for Innovation in
Worker Organization (CIWO) asserted that intersectionality is key to
building strong social movements because it “is the analysis that made
clear the interconnectedness of different unjust and exploitative systems.…
Having an intersectional approach means everyday folks have a forum and a
means to build real solidarity and more tools to win bigger gains.”

*Summary:*          Women have overtaken men and now account for more than
half (50.7%) of the college-educated labor force in the United States,
according to a Pew Research Center analysis of government data. The change
occurred in the fourth quarter of 2019 and remains the case today, even
though the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a sharp recession and an overall
decline in the size of the nation’s labor force.
