Project

Los Angeles County recognizes that the acute impact of the Covid-19 disaster on communities of color is a feature of the same forces of systemic racism that have marginalized these residents for decades. The county is dedicated not just to pursuing equitable recovery from Covid-19, but to systemic transformation. FUSE will work with the Chief Executive Office to establish an Anti-Racism, Diversity, and Equity Initiative, turning the county’s commitment into action and creating a model for other communities to follow.
