[ONLINE] – Black Community Voice, Civic Engagement, and Identity鈥檚 Role in Safety & Resilience
"California COVID and the Black Community" Session IV
- Virtual
- 2:30PM 鈥 4PM EDT
Join 麻豆果冻传媒 CA on Thursday, June 11th at 2:30 PM PDT for, Black Community Voice, Civic Engagement, and Identity鈥檚 Role in Safety & Resilience, the 4th and final session in our online series, 鈥淐OVID and the Black Community.鈥
While it鈥檚 true that the COVID-19 outbreak impacts all Americans, it has, quite simply, impacted Black America differently. The coronavirus has deepened disparity. Longstanding systemic barriers and racism have intergenerational impacts and have set the stage on which the current situation is played out — we cannot respond to the crisis without facing those barriers explicitly and as a community.
On Thursday, we will explore how community voice, civic engagement and how the current protests against America鈥檚 other virus 鈥 racism 鈥 play into the larger conversation of the future of resilience and safety in the Black community and beyond.
Registration is free and open to all.
