Building Resilient &amp; Equitable Communities: Impact investing vehicles that aim for an inclusive and sustainable recovery

The COVID-19 crisis has laid bare the vulnerabilities in our economic, health, education and social systems. The crisis is confirming and compounding deeply entrenched inequities in our society—inequities rooted in long-standing structural racism. In the United States, communities of color are bearing the brunt of the pandemic’s health and socioeconomic consequences. Through the lens of activists and investors, panelists will deepen our understanding of the historical context for these vulnerabilities. As investors move quickly in response to the crisis, they should seek to avoid and reverse racial bias in the investing process. We will explore impact investing structures that prioritize racial equity as part of a sustainable and inclusive recovery. It is in this spirit that we encourage attendees to make a voluntary donation in lieu of charging for admission to the webinar. Free tickets are available for those who are unable to donate at this time. Proceeds from the event will be donated to The Bail Project. <a href="https://bailproject.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Bail Project</a>, Inc. is a national nonprofit organization that provides free bail assistance and pretrial support to thousands of low-income people every year. Their mission is to combat mass incarceration ‒ one person at a time ‒ and transform pretrial justice in America.
