Dear Arlington friends and neighbors,
We hope you were able to join us in our Virtual round-table discussion on COVID-19 in the Community, but for those who missed it, please enjoy the video recap below. This video picks up after the introduction of our Panelists, right as Michael Curry, Esq. begins to answer the question, "What kind of structural inequities both, present and historical, do you think coronavirus has exposed?"
Here attached is the De Novo Center for Justice and Healing resources file that Mojdeh Rohani mentions in discussion:
