SUMMARY:Systemic Racism & Health: Solutions\, Making Change Happen
DESCRIPTION:Aug. 11\, 1-2 p.m. ET \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has placed a spotlight on the impact of systemic racism on the health of Black Americans.

SUMMARY:The Impact of COVID-19 on Latinx Children
DESCRIPTION:July 29\,”¯10-11 a.m. ET   In the wake of COVID-19\, racial disparities are being illuminated like never before. Latinx and Black people are contracting the virus at higher rates than white people.  \nSystemic bias in both policies and practices are often invisible\, yet result in significant levels of inequity in communities of color. Examples of inequity include access to and quality of healthcare\, nutritious foods\, housing\, education and other basic needs that help people thrive. The inequity of access and availability leads to real disparities in mortality rates. \nVoices for Healthy Kids\, an initiative of the American Heart Association and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation\, is hosting a media briefing for journalists featuring leading experts to address these key questions:• What are the consequences of inequitable policies on Latinx children’s health?• How do we design and justly enforce equitable policies?• How can we better support Latinx children’s health? • What are effective health promotion practices to reach Latinx communities? • What should leaders and businesses do to ensure that Latinx and other children of color are supported during COVID-19 response and recovery?• How can we work to provide support to hard to reach communities? • What’s the role of an everyday resident in ensuring community equity?  \nWHO • Avenel Joseph\, Ph.D.\, Vice President\, Policy\, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation• Sarah de Guia\, JD\, Chief Executive Officer\, ChangeLab Solutions • Xavier Morales\, Ph.D.\, MRP\, Executive Director\, Praxis Project • Amelie Ramirez\, Dr.P.H.\, M.P.H.\, Director\, Salud America! at the Institute for Health Promotion Research at UT Health San AntonioModerator: Eduardo Sanchez\, M.D.\, M.P.H.\, FAAFP\, Chief Medical Officer for Prevention\, American Heart Association \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Covering Climate\, COVID\, and Environmental Justice: A Journalists' Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:At this moment of reckoning — with COVID\, climate change\, and racial inequality — it has never been more clear that ensuring a safe environment for all requires understanding the ways in which inequity fosters vulnerability to the impacts of climate change and infectious disease. \nThrough reporting on environmental injustice\, journalists can help the public understand these linkages and share the experiences of under-represented communities with a wider audience. At the same time\, the news industry is beginning to reckon with its own history of structural inequality and ongoing racism within the newsroom\, which have helped to marginalize the concept of environmental justice and the reporters who cover it. \nJoin the Society of Environmental Journalists on Wednesday\, July 8th from 1-2 PM EST\, for a #SEJ2020 webinar with environmental reporters and storytellers who will discuss their experiences covering climate\, COVID\, and environmental justice. \nAll journalists welcome. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Essential Ingredients: Will China’s Dominance in Raw Materials Imperil the U.S.?
DESCRIPTION:Online Briefing\nTuesday\, July 7\, 10:30 a.m. Eastern\nLearn More \nThey are ingredients essential for everything from livestock feed to advanced weaponry to green technology. And they are increasingly mined or processed in China – upwards of 90% for some. From “rare earth elements” used in wind turbines and jet fighters\, to vitamins used in food supplies\, these raw materials are vital to American and global commerce. Many countries – including the United States – have essentially outsourced their production to one country: China. But as China grows more powerful\, more assertive and more competitive militarily\, the Trump administration is eager to reduce U.S. dependence. In this 60-minute briefing\, we’ll hear from experts on why the U.S. gave up production of many of these vital materials\, what could happen if China locks down exports of them\, and the prospects for diversifying vital supply chains. \nThe briefing will be held on Zoom\, and journalists who register may ask questions by audio or chat. \nRegister \nSpeakers:\n\n\nGlenn Luckinbill\, director\, Supply Chain Innovation Forum\, Ivy College of Business\, Iowa State University. @ISU_CoB \n\n\nJane Nakano\, senior fellow\, Energy Security and Climate Change Program\, Center for Strategic and International Studies. @CSISEnergy \n\n\nKristin Vekasi\, assistant professor\, Department of Political Science and School of Policy and International Affairs\, University of Maine. @ProfVekasi \n\n\nThis program is sponsored by the Hinrich Foundation\, an Asia-based philanthropic organization that works to advance mutually beneficial and sustainable global trade. NPF retains sole responsibility for programming and content of the briefings.

SUMMARY:COVID-19 - Health Inequities: Addressing the Disease Burden in Black\, Indigenous & PoC Communities
DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, part of the COVID-19 Webinar Miniseries\, explains why the novel coronavirus has disproportionately impacted Black\, Indigenous\, and People of Color communities. Existing data shows that people in these communities are more likely to contract COVID-19 and are at higher risk of being hospitalized or dying from the disease. For example\, while Black people make up about 13 percent of the U.S. population\, they account for 24 percent of COVID-19 deaths where race is known (COVID-19 Tracking Project). Disparities also exist among Latinx\, American Indian\, Alaskan Native\, and Pacific Islander populations. These disparities can be linked to a number of complex and interrelated issues\, including limited access to medical services\, socioeconomic disadvantages\, and the effects of structural inequities and discrimination. \n\n\nModerator: Laurie Zephyrin\, The Commonwealth Fund \n\n\nAdaeze Enekwechi\, IMPAQ\, LLC \n\n\nRachel Hardeman\, University of Minnesota School of Public Health \n\n\nWizdom Powell\, UConn Health\, Health Disparities Institute \n\n\nTuesday\, June 16\, noon – 1 p.m. ET \nRegister Now \nThis webinar is a project of the Alliance for Health Policy\, with support from NIHCM Foundation and The Commonwealth Fund. \n

SUMMARY:COVID-19 Impact on American Indians\, from Sovereign Tribal Nations to 'Invisible' Urban Communities
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 28\, noon ET\nHealth Equity in Real Time with COVID-19 \nAs states across the country begin to reopen during the coronavirus pandemic\, American Indian communities like the Navajo Nation are grappling with scarce resources and infection rates that have eclipsed early epicenters in New York and New Jersey. \nDriving these infection rates are long-standing inequities\, including limited access to health care\, overcrowded housing\, high rates of poverty and chronic disease\, and limited access to basic services like grocery stores\, supplies and running water. These high numbers can also be attributed to sovereign tribal nations’ robust testing programs. For example\, Navajo Nation has the highest testing rate per capita in the United States with 13 percent of its residents tested for the virus. \nBut with 70% of American Indians living in urban areas and 78% living outside of sovereign tribal nations\, the ability to control the spread of the virus is a challenge.
