The coronavirus does not discriminate, but economic, housing, and health policies do.
On tonight’s Facebook LIVE panel with @RepUnderwood @Repbillfoster, we'll discuss the impact of #COVID19 on communities of color.pic.twitter.com/lkV6zgX1Xf
In Chicago, African Americans represent 29% of the city’s population, but make up 70% of #COVID19 fatalities.
And while African Americans represent an alarming 38% of coronavirus deaths in Illinois, they make up only 13.2% of those tested—suggesting that people of color are being drastically underserved by the effort to #StopTheSpread.
Unaffordable housing
Lack of job opportunities & workplace protections
inadequate health care
Environmental disparities
are all factors that put communities of color at greater risk.
They’re also the result of policy choices.
