In responding to COVID-19, governments and civil society have been forced to address the inefficiencies and inequalities pervasive in our system. As such, we cannot go back to our old “normal.” Instead, we must rebuild a more just future that should adequately respond to both present and future crises.

Join UTEA and three amazing panellists for an introduction on what a just recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic should look like! This online webinar is intended to provide discussion and direction in terms of how we as activists can advocate for a just recovery. We will first be presenting an overview of the main issues being highlighted during the pandemic – such as the disproportionate burdens shouldered by black, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities – and then transition to discussion on a just recovery.
