Welcome to the latest installment of the Race Equity Project’s e-newsletter. We hope you found our last e-newsletter on LGBT Advocacy, Race, and Poverty informative. In this installment of the e-newsletter, we address the impact of the current recession on communities of color.

The four contributors to this e-newsletter each bring their unique perspective on the intersection of race and the current economic recession. We hope that you will find their articles provocative and inspiring.

Countdown to 2042: Equity in America – Angela Glover Blackwell, founder and CEO of PolicyLink.

Making the Case for Fair Housing: Evidence for Litigation and Actions for Stabilizing Communities Under Stress – Jesus Hernandez, real estate broker and doctoral candidate, University of California, Davis, Department of Sociology.

Foreclosure Crisis Built on Racial Injustice: The recession has resulted from, and contributed to, America’s racial divide – Seth Wessler, Research Associate at the Applied Research Center.

Recession Proofing the Economy: Building Wealth in Communities of Color – Meizhu Lui, Director of the Closing the Racial Wealth Gap Initiative at the Insight Center for Community Economic Development.

Do you have an idea for a future e-newsletter? Would you like to share the race-based work that you are doing with others interested in achieving race equity? Drop us an email. We would love to hear from you!
