Presidential hopeful and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released a plan on Friday aimed at closing the wage gap affecting black and brown women, part of a broader focus on income inequality as she and other Democratic candidates vie for the support of minority voters.

Warren wrote in a post on Medium that she would issue several executive actions to boost wages for women of color and open up pathways for them to become leaders in the federal workforce. She said she would implement her “Equal Opportunity Executive Order” on her first day as president.

“It’s time to build an America that recognizes the role that women of color play in their families and in the economy, that fairly values their work, and that delivers equal opportunity for everyone,” Warren wrote.

The senator said she would issue an executive order that would deny federal contracting opportunities to companies with poor track records on diversity and equal pay. She also vowed to enforce a $15 minimum wage and a benefits requirement for employees of all federal contractors. Benefits would include paid family leave, fair scheduling and collective bargaining rights.

In addition, Warren said she would seek to prevent discrimination by banning federal contractors from asking applicants for their past salary information and criminal histories. Women of color may miss out on employment opportunities more often than white women because they are incarcerated at much higher rates. A June report by the Sentencing Project, an incarceration research and reform organization, found that Hispanic women are imprisoned at 1.3 times the rate of white women and that black women are twice as likely to be imprisoned as white women.
