Covid-19 Relief and Recovery Plan for Black America
Covid-19 Relief and Recovery Plan for Black America
Black people represent just 13% of the country’s population but nearly 30% of total Coronavirus cases and 16% of total deaths — we are dying at higher rates than any other group in the country. With over 60,000 Black lives lost, nearly half of our small businesses permanently closed, and the daily burden of rising unemployment and insecure housing, our communities demand swift, sweeping, and aggressive action.
We need a plan for all Black communities that protects us, provides access to the care we need and builds new infrastructure to address the crises facing us — and our Covid-19 Relief and Recovery Plan for Black America does just that.
We’re changing the rules and making new ones that make us powerful in every aspect of our lives.
