Taking a Bite out of the Big Apple

Updated onMay 28, 2020

Poverty, the pandemic, and personal stories from the front line

A Zoom panel discussion: 7-8:30 pm, Tuesday, June 9

The statistics are now being released. In the midst of a global pandemic, the Covid-19 virus is disproportionately killing our country’s racial minorities. Recent figures reveal that African Americans are dying at a rate three times higher than their white counterparts. All the while, our government’s divided response fluctuates between unclear recommendations, childish political squabbles and delayed support of our healthcare system. Why is this? To learn more, join the Koinonia School of Race & Justice as we dialogue with Emergency Physician Erik Martin and Criminal Justice Agency Research Project Coordinator Imani Randolph. Erik recently returned from volunteering at Coney Island Hospital in New York. Imani works for the New York Criminal Justice Agency. 

During this conversation, we will ask questions of them but also question ourselves. How does this crisis expose the often hidden, but still pervasive, racial inequalities in housing, education, employment, the legal system and more? Why are the recommendations that we hear during this crisis so varied? Why do different groups of people seem to digest and act on the information differently? How is our humanity being touched and challenged to respond? How can we not let this opportunity for equality-seeking pass us by?

All are welcome…
