The Trump administration's response
[link removed]
to the Coronavirus outbreak, racial attacks
[link removed]
reported by the Asian-American community, and the disproportionate high
mortality rates
[link removed]
of Black people across the nation demand our attention in addressing the
structural racist roots of this harm in order to be able to move toward
solutions.
Please join us on Friday, May 8th for a new webinar: #RaceAnd Pandemics:
COVID-19 and Global Diseases Through a Structural Lens.
[link removed]
Early regional and national data indicates that Black, Latinx, and
Native communities are being hit hardest by the ongoing global pandemic.
The racialization of COVID-19 is representative of the ways systemic and
structural racism have historically affected these communities, and as a
result, continue to show up during this perilous moment.
The #RaceAnd Pandemics
[link removed]
webinar will use a systemic racial analysis to examine the structural
roots of the racialization of global diseases. We'll take a look at:
The interconnected policies, practices, institutions, culture, and
ideologies that disenfranchise Black and Brown people.
How the racialization of diseases advances systemic racial inequalities
that causes lasting harm to generations of Black people, Indigenous
people, and other people of color and their communities.
Our goal is for participants to bring this understanding back to their
institutions, organizations, and communities as a tool to shift the
conversation on structural racism from individual to systemic, as we
work to find long-term solutions in the time of COVID-19, and beyond.

Read and share Colorlines coverage

From the beginnings of the U.S. Coronavirus outbreak in March, our
Colorlines
[link removed]
team's reporting immediately began focusing on jails and incarcerated
populations. As the pandemic has unfolded, so has an emerging health and
humanitarian crisis in facilities across the country. We've compiled a
list of some of our recent reporting, which has important implications
on trying to curb the overall spread of the disease.

" I'm reading "The Yellow House"
[link removed]
by Sarah Broom and it has definitely been a great source of energy and
inspiration for me lately. It's a powerful memoir that brings readers
into 100 years of family and New Orleans history, revealing countless
gems of wisdom throughout its twists and turns. I see myself, my family,
and my future in its pages and highly recommend it to anyone interested
in creative placemaking."
