The Uneven Impact of COVID-19: How the Pandemic Is Impacting Our Neighborhoods and Disproportionately Taking its Toll on People of Color

Thursday, June 18, 2020 - 6:30pm to 7:30pm

Join the Weavers Way Racial Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Advisory Committee for a virtual discussion on the uneven impact of COVID-19 on people of color in our neighborhoods.

The discussion will be led by committee members and facilitators Vanessa Johnson and Esther Wyss-Flamm and will revolve around coronavirus’s effect on education, finances, physical and mental health, food, employment, and housing. The group hopes to identify action steps we can take individually and within the structure of the Co-op, including educating ourselves and others, acting as allies and/or advocates for those impacted by the virus, and identifying resources or groups that could improve the circumstances of those who’ve been affected.

The committee, formed in 2018, is currently made up of 16 members, including staff and member representatives from each of the Co-op’s three locations, three board members, and representatives from the administrative staff. We meet regularly to further develop the Co-op’s #7 Ends goal: "Weavers Way will have a welcoming culture that values diversity, openness, inclusiveness, and respect in all that we do."

The event is free, but pre-registration is requested. Click here to register.
