Our @JLSullivan spoke yesterday on #COVID19andRace on an informative panel yesterday moderated by @LABudgetProject & @ReillyCenter. Here’s a quick recap of what she talked about & where to find more information. You can watch the full discussion here:
In Louisiana, 70% of #COVID19 deaths were African Americans, despite making up only a 1/3 of the state’s population. And while the disparity is stark in Louisiana, it’s a very similar story across the country.
“This is shocking, but not new. It’s shining a light on an uncomfortable truth many of us have known all along. As long as we live in a society that doesn’t prioritize health equity, low-income people & people of color will carry an unequal burden.” - @JLSullivan
