Stepping Forward: Advancing Opportunity and Equity in the Time of COVID

This month, PISAB Core Trainer-Organizer Addys Castillo participated in The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven’s panel discussion titled, “Stepping Forward: Advancing Opportunity and Equity in the Time of COVID.”

CFGNH identified the following takeaways from the discussion:

“A sustained, long-term commitment is needed to advance opportunity and equity.
Advancing equity requires challenging and changing existing power structures and policies.
Opportunity is expanded when everyone feels their own power.
Younger generations are at the forefront of making change.
Sustained support of collective organizing is needed for change to happen.
Inequity goes deeper than economic disparities, and will only be overcome through a transformational cultural shift with changed mindsets and new relationships.
Every institution and every business needs to reflect the community with which it works.”
