Friend, We hope you and your family have been safe while weathering this global health crisis. Both the pandemic and the resulting global economic crisis have shown just how interdependent and interconnected we all are. Our collective well-being is reliant on all of us being safe, healthy, and able to thrive. Low-income immigrants have historically been excluded from opportunities to stay safe and healthy, and to thrive. As a result, immigrants and their families have been disproportionately affected by the impacts of COVID-19. Yet at the same time immigrant communities are stepping up to serve in essential roles during this pandemic — ranging from serving as first responders in the health care sector to harvesting and preparing our food and caring for our loved ones. To examine the impacts COVID-19 is having on immigrant communities, we invite you to join us for THREE separate webinars next week, covering federal responses to COVID-19’s impact on immigrants and how states and localities are filling in the gaps left by the federal government’s inadequate response. | |
