More than Band-Aids: Long Term Prospects for the Pandemic

Because the Bronx is suffering disproportionately from the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic, North West Bronx Indivisible is co-sponsoring a Zoom Town Hall entitled COVID and the Bronx.  North West Bronx Community Clergy Coalition will be our co-sponsor for the event which is scheduled for May 28th at 3:30 p.m.

Featured speakers are Senator Gustavo Rivera and Katie Robbins, director of Campaign for New York Health, as well as local heroes working in the vanguard of the current battle.

Our speakers will discuss the difficult question of how we might emerge from the current chaos with long-term solutions to the conditions that have for years rendered the Bronx 62nd out of 62 NY counties in terms of healthcare outcomes and racial inequality.  

Speakers will also address some of the possible complications of this crisis for which our leaders have not prepared, including a second or third wave of cases and the possibility of an environmental catastrophe—a hurricane or heatwave.
