And we actually do need a national solution, and not just a local solution, to the issue of police violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And when it comes to corporate financial pledges toward economic equality, \u201cI would say that the impact of that has been marginal at best,\u201d Cunningham said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The aftermath of Floyd\u2019s murder was marked by companies throwing serious money at racial-equity initiatives: Nearly 1,400 Fortune 1000 companies collectively pledged about $340 billion between May 2020 and October 2022, McKinsey &amp; Company said this past February. Local, state and federal legislators also voiced support for police reform, racial economic equality, and more.<\/p>\n<div data-layout=\"wrap\n                \" data-layout-mobile=\"\" class=\"\n          media-object\n          type-InsetMediaIllustration\n            wrap\n  article__inset\n          article__inset--type-InsetMediaIllustration\n            article__inset--wrap\n  \"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"\n        media-object-image\n        enlarge-image\n        img-wrap\n        article__inset__image\n      \" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<p>But whether those efforts have made a meaningful difference in the lives of Black Americans is another matter. A Washington Post-Ipsos poll of more than 1,200 Black Americans released Thursday showed almost half believed President Joe Biden\u2019s policies had made no difference, while about a third had found them helpful. (Biden, marking the anniversary of Floyd\u2019s murder on Thursday, called on Congress to pass \u201cmeaningful police reform.\u201d)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Cunningham noted that organizations that primarily serve people of color or are led by executives of color continue to experience greater financial challenges in general, despite promises for more resources. The Nonprofit Finance Fund\u2019s 2022 State of the Nonprofit Sector Survey found that although nonprofits led by people of color experienced a greater increase in demand for their services in the first two years of the pandemic, they were less likely to receive corporate donations in 2021 compared to their white-led peers. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProsperity Now hasn\u2019t seen a huge influx of additional resources in terms of addressing these issues,\u201d Cunningham said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As far as government initiatives go, some of the most successful measures to advance economic equality in the past three years weren\u2019t directly related to promises made after Floyd\u2019s murder. For example, the temporary expansion of the child tax credit in 2021, part of the American Rescue Plan, slashed child poverty and had demonstrably large mental-health benefits for Black and Hispanic adults. But it was nonetheless allowed to lapse when Biden\u2019s Build Back Agenda fell apart, after Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia withdrew his support in December 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they had a chance to reauthorize that child-care tax credit, they didn\u2019t,\u201d Cunningham said of Congress. \u201cSo we\u2019re spending more on war and the military industrial complex than we are on our people in America, and that\u2019s shameful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to change that around, because we won\u2019t as a country be able to thrive, we won\u2019t be able to compete internationally, we won\u2019t be able to maintain our standard of living in this country, unless we invest in our people,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd that really begins in opportunities for children \u2014 Black and brown children throughout this country \u2014 to participate fully in the American dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/three-years-after-george-floyds-death-theres-been-a-lot-of-promises-but-not-much-substance-on-racial-equality-nonprofit-ceo-says-b6c68691?mod=personal-finance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three years after George Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer \u2014 a May 2020 killing captured in a shocking viral cellphone video that spurred racial-justice uprisings nationwide \u2014 there have been \u201ca lot of pledges\u201d for reform, but \u201cnot much substance,\u201d said Gary Cunningham, the outgoing president and CEO of Prosperity Now, a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14235,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[236],"tags":[83],"class_list":["post-14234","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-featured","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What\u2019s changed in the three years since George Floyd\u2019s death?
