 Addressing the Racial Wealth Gap Across Greater Boston with JC Burton and TI Member Jonathan Davis |
November 7 | 7:00 p.m.
Boston has been ranked America's #1 most unequal city, according to a 2016 Brookings Institute report. The Boston Globe reported that the household median net worth for white households was $247,500 and just $8 for black households. At Temple Israel, we believe that we can access our own personal economic power to address this structural inequity.
Come learn how you can also begin to address inequality. RVSP to Tali Puterman.
