Reopen Los Angeles? Communities of Color Will Pay the Price, Says Wesson

“People of color are being hit by this pandemic physically, mentally, and financially,” Wesson begins. “A long history of unequal access to health care has left Black, Latino, and the working poor in a position to be disproportionately killed by the virus. As we begin to reopen, we need to take a hard look at ways to protect those who will be the most negatively impacted.”
