Las desigualdades económicas fundamentales en Massachusetts han sido descubiertas y magnificadas a medida que hemos enfrentado los desafíos de una pandemia en el último año y medio. El objetivo de este foro es comprender las contribuciones hechas por los trabajadores latinos durante la cúspide de la pandemia, muchos de los cuales se consideraron esenciales y mantuvieron en funcionamiento los servicios vitales. A través de este enfoque, examinaremos cómo y por qué una recuperación equitativa del mercado laboral para los latinos en Massachusetts es esencial, ahora y en el futuro.

Juntos, buscaremos un camino a seguir. Identificaremos pasos hacia la inversión en una recuperación equitativa y el bienestar socioeconómico a través de todas las comunidades.

The Role of Philanthropy and Business: What is the change that we wish to see?

Philanthropy and businesses have shifted their giving and hiring to address the needs of the community, in particular communities of color. What role can they play in the equitable economic recovery for Latinos? What is happening in these two industries? What needs to happen in the future?
