A Courageous Conversation to Remember Dr. King
LAPA Fundraising
Watch
Overview
Dr. King gave his life for racial integration, but he also feared that he integrated his people into a burning house.
In the midst of a global pandemic, the United States gained 56 new billionaires bringing the total to 659. The wealth held by that small cadre of Americans has jumped by more than $1 trillion in the months since the pandemic began. Yet Covid-19 has torn through Black America, with the virus taking the lives of Black people in the US at twice the rate of white Americans. Further, the CDC recorded the highest number ever of drug overdose deaths in 2020, and Moody’s economic analysts are projecting a wave of evictions, 760,000 to as many as 4 million nationwide.
How do we respond? What is required of your nonprofit to fight poverty at this time?
