Revealing Relationships: Racism and disaster Preparedness
October 17, 2020

Why are Communities of Color disproportionately affected by the coronovirus? How does our society treat a largely Black and migrant labor force of service and agricultural workers? When disaster strikes, who is served and who isn’t? Are racism and disaster response interrelated? If so, what can we do about it?
