Episode 3: #WeNeed2Survive
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggests black people are disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Numbers released by Dallas County show a similar trend among black and Latinx people locally. Viruses don’t discriminate, but their spread can shine a light on existing race and class disparities in healthcare. Richie Butler, a board member of Communities Foundation of Texas and pastor of St. Paul United Methodist Church in Dallas, talks about this issue and the #WeNeed2Survive campaign, an effort to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on communities of color.
