COVID-19 Equity Considerations
The COVID-19 outbreak is officially a pandemic, according to the World Health Organization. Because of the racial and economic inequities embedded in our country’s systems, the effects of this pandemic could be compounded for Black, Brown, Asian, and indigenous communities, as well as other population groups.

The NAACP has released a resource to guide officials responsible for addressing health, economic, and other impacts, in remediating some of the issues that are disproportionately affecting communities of color.

Our policy experts have outlined key considerations and recommendations in containing the spread of this coronavirus. The full guide is available to download here.
