Explore how philanthropy can empower organizations led by people of color, advocate for structural change, and confront the impacts of white dominant culture during COVID-19.
With the ongoing spread of coronavirus, protests demanding racial justice, and new data confirming the racial inequity of the pandemic – action is needed now. The social sector must acknowledge and actively work against the embedded racism in a range of systems, including healthcare, employment, education, housing, immigration, and criminal justice.
During our COVID-19 Funders Briefing Series I, Dr. Denise Rodgers from Rutgers University and Bob Atkins of New Jersey Health Initiatives discussed how philanthropy can respond to the systemic racism that underlies the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on Black communities. This webinar will expand on those ideas to offer additional strategies and examples of how philanthropy can create a more equitable New Jersey during recovery and beyond.
We’ll hear from Ryan Haygood, President and CEO of the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice and Pat Eng, President and CEO of Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP).
Topics will include:
- Actions taken to center equity during the pandemic.
- The disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on the physical, mental, and financial well-being of communities of color.
- How philanthropy can support organizations led by people of color in the fight for social justice.
