Join us for Virtual Town Halls on the disparate impact of COVID-19 on minority populations

June 3,2020

Advocates for Ohio’s Future, Children’s Defense Fund of Ohio and Policy Matters Ohio would like to invite you to participate in a series of virtual Town Hall meetings to discuss the disparate impact of COVID-19 on minority populations.

We scheduled these virtual town hall meetings to create a forum to share our expertise and insight and will be sharing all written testimony and presentations with the subcommittee members of the Minority Health Strike Force.

Each virtual Town Hall will be held as a Zoom webinar and be recorded. Only registered participants will be able to join the webinar (see registration links below).
