Racial Equity
In 2020, we watched Black Lives Matter and other racial equity movements spotlight systemic inequities in our country, just as the dangers of COVID-19 brought the health-related disparities that have plagued Black America for centuries into stark relief. In response, LISC accelerated work with our partners to provide critical resources to those communities with the greatest need. LISC Connecticut has stepped up advocacy for desegregation, facilitating the development of affordable housing in suburban towns that have historically limited access to Black and Brown residents, and worked to ensure that diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice are embedded in all of our programming.
