San Francisco Human Rights Commission Executive Director Sheryl Davis to Address Issue of Racial Equity in These Times of COVID-19
Everyone, no matter their race, economic, or immigration status, gender, age, or ability, feels the impact of COVID-19 in some way. The global pandemic's breathtaking impact on the well-being and security of our family, friends, neighbors and on our economy, healthcare, social services, and beyond has moved from abstractness to a harsh reality. But people who are already targeted, marginalized, and underserved will feel the pain more than others. For these communities, COVID-19 comes on top of existing economic, health, education, gender and information inequities, as well as state violence that has shaped their everyday lives. Crisis situations such as pandemics, natural disasters, and social flashpoints often amplify racial biases that are deeply rooted in our history. These historically rooted structures, processes, and practices often get in the way of equitable security and opportunity for all. The San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC) welcomes San Francisco Human Rights Commission Executive Director Sheryl Davis, who will address the issue of racial equity in these times of COVID-19, as the featured presenter at this week's Online Briefing for Faith Leaders.
