New Crisis, Same Story! Episode One

Prosperity Now’s New Crisis, Same Story! video series is here! In this initial episode, you will meet the leaders behind the scenes of Prosperity Now’s Racial Wealth Divide Initiative. They share highlights of their experiences with nonprofit leaders from across the country, including what they heard during Listening Sessions they hosted in April with these grassroots and community innovators. Episode one also features a teaser for each of the five upcoming episodes, where city-level nonprofit leaders will explain how they are advancing racial economic equity solutions, particularly in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This series will highlight the grassroots and community innovations that have been developed and piloted to address the challenges of racial economic inequality. In this series, we will feature nonprofit leaders of color across U.S. cities and share how they are advancing racial economic equity solutions in health care, employment, income, housing and education – particularly in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Together, we will discuss the historical basis for present-day inequality and elevate solutions that are being used to disrupt the reoccurring patterns of inequality in communities of color.
