The Equality newsletter by Bloomberg News will now be coming to your inboxes at 4pm Eastern Time/1pm Pacific Time every Thursday. You can subscribe here, and share feedback here.

Hello, everyone! I’m Claire Suddath, a senior equality team writer for Bloomberg News and Bloomberg Businessweek. I am also the author of this shiny, revamped newsletter. It will be about all the ways gender, race and class shape American capitalism, as well as how our economy, our businesses, our laws and policies — and by extension our society — either are or are not working to remedy inequality.

Is the child care crisis pushing working parents out of the labor force? How can we narrow the racial wealth gap? What will the US elections mean for migration, abortion and ideological fault lines?
