At a time of pandemic, recession, public lynchings, and uprisings for racial justice, our nation is at a crossroads. The mounting stress and economic fallout from COVID-19 and racial turmoil is widening the equity gap for young people and communities of color. We are in a crisis and need action and investment from the public and private sector to support the solutions proposed for decades by young people and racial justice leaders. What we need is a New Deal for Youth [[link removed]] .
CLASP created a 2020 Youth Data Portrait [[link removed]] that analyzes data related to economic justice, healing and wellbeing, and safe communities for youth and young adults before and during the pandemic. Over the next week, we’ll be releasing this data to begin a dialogue on a New Deal for Youth [[link removed]] that responds to the historic roots and current scale of the crisis. When the once-in-a-lifetime catastrophe is over, our future as a nation will depend on how intentionally we invest in this and future generations.
This first set of data, focusing on economic justice, shows how the pandemic has made an already-inequitable system even worse for youth and young adults, particularly young people of color.
Please use our social media toolkit [[link removed]] to join us in sharing this data.
