As important as homeownership, business ownership, and higher education are, we must go beyond simply promoting more of each if we want to close the racial wealth gap. In this series, Shelterforce widens the lens on the racial wealth gap and what needs to be done to truly move the needle forward.
Shelterforce and Nonprofit Quarterly recently published multi-part series on closing the racial wealth gap, and on May 6, writers from both series took part in a jointly hosted 90-minute webinar on the topic.
Gary Cunningham, CEO of Prosperity Now, a national racial and economic justice nonprofit headquartered in Washington, D.C.
john a. powell, director of the Othering & Belonging Institute and professor of law, African American, and ethnic studies at the University of California, Berkeley.
Jeremie Greer, co-founder and co-executive director of Liberation in a Generation, an organization incubated by PolicyLink, which is building the power of people of color to transform the economy.
Anne Price, president of the Insight Center for Community Economic Development, which strives to shift power and agency in economic policy by centering those closest to the problems in developing solutions.
Moderating the panel were Steve Dubb, senior editor at Nonprofit Quarterly, and Shelterforce’s CEO and editor, Miriam Axel-Lute.
