| Addressing the Racial Wealth Gap Across Greater Boston with Jonathan Davis and JC Burton |
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.
Please join the economic justice initiative and impact investing initiatives at Temple Israel for a conversation with JC Burton, Founder of Maven Construction and Jonathan Davis, Temple member and investor, as they share their personal stories. JC Burton will share about her path to founding Maven Construction and her challenges to securing funding while Jon Davis will share his motivations to leverage his capital to make systemic change in Boston and beyond.
The conversation will be moderated by Mark Watson of the Boston Impact Initiative (BII).
Come learn from Davis and Burton about how you can also begin to address the structural inequality. RVSP to
Tali Puterman.
