COVID-19 Policy & Black Communities

The team at the Joint Center quickly responded to the pandemic and recession. Early on—when the way forward was unclear—we regularly convened Black community leaders and policymakers to discuss challenges and solutions, produced weekly summaries of the most recent data and policy developments, and successfully urged the CDC to disclose COVID-19 data by race.
