“Equity Amid Crisis” is a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact globally, nationally, and locally.
“Equity Amid crisis” is an attempt to have us as a community come together to listen, share, and strategize on how to come out of this crisis stronger instead of further divided with disparities widening.
A community that cultivates a workforce and businesses that reflect the growing demographic shifts has a greater chance of emerging from this crisis more prepared for the challenges that lay ahead.
