Vulnerable populations across the U.S. are being disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The disparities faced by these communities reflect the ongoing consequences of inequality, structural racism, and unequal access to affordable health care that factor prominently in the pandemic death rate.
During our April 21 webinar, Independent Sector and Equity in the Center partnered for a conversation about how our response efforts can rapidly accelerate equitable outcomes. They also discussed how your organization can proactively apply a race equity lens to your COVID-19 response and help ensure that race equity is a priority in our collective pandemic-focused efforts.
