There has been a lot of debate over the last several months about whether or not the stimulus package and other economic policies of the Obama administration will be successful in curing America’s economic woes. And no one is really sure what the answer to that question is.
One thing we do know is that health and prosperity will not be wide-spread in America or across the world until we address the consistent assaults on vulnerable communities by the policies of the world’s economic superpowers. Unfortunately, issues of racial, social and economic justice have been eclipsed by other valid concerns like how to handle the mortgage collapse and failing banks. But if ever there was a time to listen to silenced voices and dig deeper to the roots of the problem, this is it.
So don’t miss the Compact for Racial Justice Phone Forum on Race and Recession Tuesday, April 14 at 1 pm PST / 4pm EST. You have to RSVP, but there’s still time left! Thanks to Race Wire for getting the word out about this.
