Overview:
This is a 90-minute recording of a webinar held on November 11, 2020.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, long-standing systemic health and social inequities have been exposed and certain populations are at an increased risk of the impacts of COVID-19. During this webinar we will discuss how systemic racism has historically prevented Latinx communities from adequate healthcare and other economic opportunities. We will discuss the impact COVID-19 is having on the Latinx community and how we must look at the systemic issue of race and health disparities as we move forward.
