How Race, Class and Place Fuel a Pandemic

Sheltering in place works for wealthier and white neighborhoods but puts low-income and Black and Latinx communities in harm’s way. Today, Advancement Project California released How Race, Class, and Place Fuel a Pandemic, an interactive report that shows how COVID-19 has shifted across geography and taken hold in predominantly Black and Latinx communities in Los Angeles; and offers recommendations to support communities of color through the worst of this crisis.

"No matter where we live, the color of our skin or where we come from, we all want to be safe and protect our loved ones from COVID-19. But race counts – even during an all-encompassing global pandemic. Even when the crisis has impacted every community and every walk of life. Our research shows that race matters in a particularly sharp and uncompromising way in this crisis — and unless our collective response starts with addressing our unequal conditions, none of us will be safe."
