Join Penn's African-American Resource Center (AARC) this evening for a virtual webinar: "A Closer Look: How Racism Became the new Pandemic."

"When America gets a cold, we get the Pneumonia!" Black and indigenous communities are impacted by COVID 19 more severely and at rates much higher than we exist in the population. We will explore the reasons for this by reviewing the historical context as well as generational trauma in the Black body. Let's take a closer look at how racism is the real pandemic.

Join in at TODAY @ 6 PM over Zoom (info on image) or streaming on African-American Resource Center (AARC)'s page.

Join PVP staff for a discussion on the relationship between intimate partner violence, policing, and racial violence next Monday at 6pm.
