Reckoning with the Economics of Place & Building Back Better

Feb. 18, 12-1pm CT

Join us for an in-depth conversation that asks and answers critical questions tied to racial and economic equity and inclusion:

Are the tools we have today capable of fueling inclusive economic growth? Does building back better include opportunities for Black businesses owners to thrive in place; own, develop, and grow firms; and develop properties, all at the same time? If so, what financial tools and investments are necessary, and what is required to ensure that wealth extraction is addressed and racial equity is at the center?

+ Pamela Lewis | Nonresident Senior Fellow, Brookings

+ Anisha Murphy | Director Of Community Advancement-Twin Cities, Community Reinvestment Fund, USA

MODERATOR: Tawanna Black | Founder & CEO, Center for Economic Inclusion
