Systemic Inequities ...

About this Recording

When looking at the disproportionate impact in health disparities on communities of color, the black community's experience can be an indicator of what is happening to all marginalized communities. It is possible that empathy is hard to have as a member of a less impacted community. If you don't see it and don't experience it, it seems you don't feel it.

• List four ways in which Black and Brown communities have been disadvantaged more than white communities due to the COVID-19 pandemic
• Name three health impacts of not having stable and safe housing
• Name two actions on housing policies that can reduce housing inequity
