There is still time to register to tomorrow’s Race and Recession call. Don’t miss it.


RSVP to Tuesday’s Compact Phone Forum: Race and Recession •Tuesday, April 14th, 1pm PST / 4pm EST


Everybody’s saying that during economic crisis, we can’t ask for anything extra. Racial analysis, immigrant rights, ending discrimination, raising the minimum wage, easing unionization are all considered “extras.” Yet, the economy can’t be rebuilt in a progressive way without racial justice. Find out how we can strengthen our bargaining position to ensure that the economic fixes don’t miss our communities.

Presentations by:
Bertha Lewis, CEO and Chief Organizer of ACORN
Jose Garcia, Associate Director for Research and Policy at DEMOS

Dom Apollon, Ph.D, Applied Research Center’s Research Director will moderate.
