Register Today: Rebuilding the House that Racism Built in Our COVID Response

Join us in a  webinar led by Black and Brown women, and hear findings from the Economic Policy Institute’s upcoming report, which highlights the economic and health insecurity that COVID-19 presents for Black workers and their families and why that unequal burden was predictable given a long history of racial exclusion, discrimination, and inequality in the United States.

Building from the report, panelists will discuss specific strategies to build an inclusive economy that centers on the needs of Black and Brown women and their communities.  A particular focus will center on bridging academic research to movement building and advocacy.

Join EPI, Insight Center, and the Women’s Institute for Science, Equity and Race for a live webinar on the unequal burden that COVID-19 presents for Black workers and their families.
