We learned some hard lessons over the year-plus of the COVID-19 pandemic. One of those lessons is how much harder the impacts of the pandemic fell on people with darker skin and fewer dollars.

People in Oregon noticed; a recent survey by the Oregon Values and Beliefs Center showed a strong majority of people feel that economic disparities worsened during the pandemic.

We explore these findings and others with Adam Davis, Cofounder and Executive Director of OVBC, and Amaury Vogel, Associate Executive Director.
