Before people realized Black people were suffering from COVID-19 at high rates, the conversation was about testing and care. Now that we're learning how many victims are Black, it's about personal responsibility. This train is never late. https://twitter.com/Yamiche/status/1248679421122396162
Data disaggregated by race is important for us to create solutions to ensure Black and brown populations are being served properly. But these health disparities are due to systemic issues. We only reinforce these systems when we aren't honest about this.
We have never had a recovery effort that centers race. Instead, our recovery efforts strive to return to a status quo where disparities were tolerated. We need structural change #StreetSmartRecovery https://www.policylink.org/engage/lets-take-action/street-smart-recovery
