As part of their worldwide vaccine access campaign, Vax Because, Global Citizen invited LISC CEO Lisa Glover and Uber's global head of social impact Julia Paige to discuss their $11 million Vaccine Access Fund, designed to upend barriers to transportation to vaccination sites—barriers that primarily affect undeserved communities of color. Said Glover in the video interview, together with Uber, “we can deliver the resources to our partners that are trusted on the ground, and they can work with their communities to get the transportation needs met.”

As a core partner of Global Citizen, LISC is thrilled to join in rallying for an equitable response to Covid-19 with Global Goal: Unite for Our Future all-star concert. And the extra bonus? Usher—yes, that Usher—is donating proceeds from his latest record to ramp up our work on behalf of minority small businesses and nonprofits!

LISC is proud to announce a new partnership with Global Citizen to ramp up our urgent response to the devastating health and economic impact of the pandemic on underinvested communities across the country. On Saturday, April 18, Global Citizen featured LISC as one of of their local partners during "Together at Home," a star-packed, all-day entertainment and information extravaganza to raise awareness about the impact of Covid-19 (and we got a shout-out from none other than Alicia Keys).
