Elizabeth Warren Panders to Black Voters in New Orleans at Essence Festival

‘I have a plan to deal with the maternal health crisis in this country that black women are dying at three and four times the rate of white women’

RUSH EXCERPT:
WARREN: "Oh, and there’s more. We can also level the playing field and that means a $50 billion investment into historically black colleges and universities. And just one more I want to mention all out of the same two cents. We can cancel student loan debt for 95% of the kids who got it. (Cheers and applause)
We can start to close that wealth gap and it’s not just that. I have a housing plan to build 3.2 million new housing units in this country and to address the generational impact of red lining that our government used to discriminate against black citizens.
(Applause) I have a plan to deal with the maternal health crisis in this country that black women are dying at three and four times the rate of white women. It’s time for some accountability in this system.”
