The people feeling the pandemic’s economic impacts the most are those who were already struggling. As we start to think about paths to economic recovery, please join us for a webinar, Reinventing Our Communities: Planning for Equity in Recovery – Lessons We’re Learning from COVID-19.

During this session, you will learn from leading experts about policies and practices needed to rebuild local economies and create stronger households and communities in the wake of COVID-19.

In this webinar hosted by the Federal Reserve’s Connecting Communities initiative, you’ll learn about local solutions to foster equity in recovery and ways to address ingrained barriers to economic opportunity, especially for low- and moderate-income people and communities of color.
