Dear NCRC members and allies,
The LGBTQ+ community has been uniquely hard-hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. LGBTQ+ people have an increased risk of health complications from COVID-19. Older adults who are LGBTQ+ are especially at risk.
The COVID-19 pandemic has already led to discrimination against people who are perceived as being carriers of it. And many states have yet to outlaw housing and lending discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. These forms of discrimination will likely intersect in multiple ways as the pandemic continues.
In honor of Pride Month, please join NCRC on June 18 at 1 PM ET, for our Just Economy Session, LGBTQ+ Life After COVID-19: Assessing Risk, Response and Recovery.

Speakers:
* Puneet Cheema, Staff Attorney, Lambda Legal
* Sean Coleman, Executive Director, Destination Tomorrow
* Karen Kali, Senior Program Manager, NCRC
* Sydney Kopp-Richardson, Director of the National LGBT Elder Housing Initiative, SAGE
* Sayief Leshaw, Program Manager, Stonewall Community Development Corporation
* Jake Lilien, Compliance Program Manager, NCRC
This session will cover a broad range of subjects related to the LGBTQ+ community, and what measures can be taken to help the community recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. What protections are needed to help LGBTQ+ people find safe housing in the age of social distancing? What does economic recovery mean for the queer community, and what steps should be taken to promote inclusivity? What roles can government agencies, nonprofit organizations, lenders and other community stakeholders take on to help at-risk populations?
Additionally, given the recent protests across the country around police brutality and policing, we will explore the history of policing of LGBTQ+ people, discriminatory policies and police response in instances where public health structures have failed.
