Content from The Rockefeller Foundation: Supporting Economic Power in Marginalized Communities

Every week, we see new data backing up how this crisis is exacerbating deep inequities. Beyond the data, we can see the inequity in lived experiences in the U.S. and around the world. Black Americans, for example, are twice as likely to die of COVID-19 and Black mothers are twice as likely to leave a job due to pandemic as White mothers. How do we enable a recovery that provides equitable and sustainable opportunity? Rockefeller Foundation president Rajiv J. Shah and Bipartisan Policy Center founder & president discuss ways to build a recovery that reverses centuries of injustice, offer everybody a chance to participate in America’s progress and fight for truly equal opportunity for all of America’s working families.
