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.
