PolicyWise

Today's episode will be audio from the 2020 California Economic Summit, hosted by California Forward.

The Young Leaders Advisory Council hosted an associated event that culminated in a panel with Julia, Ashley, Stephanie and Mehek moderated by Candice Mays of Voice Media Ventures focused on discussion designed to explore the social implications of failing to properly invest in Black Indigenous People Of Color and underserved communities.

The discussion explores the impact of external social narratives in supporting systemic racism through education, social inclusion and mental health. These points have become an undeniable focus in the national dialog in response to the Black Lives Matter movement and the resounding call for social justice and systemic change.
