Since mid-March, our team has been convening brainstorms between people immediately impacted by the crisis and community leaders in our community. In addition to sharing summaries on our website, we’ve compiled some of the top takeaways in two different reports.
Our most recent report, Strategies For Making Cincinnati A Safer Place for Black Communities During the COVID-19 Crisis, highlighted the insights we learned specifically from African-American essential workers and healthcare professionals.
In addition to sharing the report with our community, partners and the Cincinnati leaders, we had the opportunity to discuss what we’ve learned with reporters in the region.
Check out these recent articles to learn more about our most recent report in the context of current events:
