The economic impact of COVID-19 has been devastating to the entire region, from individual households to neighborhoods, to the business community. This event will be a panel discussion to explore the region’s path forward to a just and equitable economic recovery. The conversation will be moderated by Helene Gayle, president and CEO of The Chicago Community Trust, and feature Gloria Castillo director of Together We Rise, a multi-facted initiative that will provide funding, encourage changes to business practices, and pursue policy reforms to ensure the region comes back from the impacts of COVID-19 better on the other side.
