• Esperanza Hope For All | The Rescue Strategy: Ensuring A.R.P.A. Reaches Latinos
  Sponsored by Walton Family Foundation

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on Latinos because of longstanding inequities in health, education, economic opportunities, and other aspects of daily life. And while the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), provides a historic amount of relief for Americans struggling to make ends meet, we have to make sure Latinos, immigrants, and vulnerable communities receive the care they need. ARPA is a very good start, but more is needed if we don’t want Latinos to fall further behind in wealth, education, and access to health care. In this session, hear from community-based leaders discussing challenges and solutions to ensure that Latinos fully recover from the effects of the pandemic..
