DESCRIPTION:Wed, June 24, 6-7:30pm Pacific time\n\nOn Common Ground: Black Businesses 
 Through Pandemic and Protest\n\nHow are Oakland's Black-owned small 
 businesses navigating these social and economic strains? How are they 
 holding community together?\n\nAbout this Event\nMany Black-owned small 
 businesses face a precarious moment in the wake of pandemic and civil 
 unrest. Not only has coronavirus disproportionately impacted Black 
 Americans; it also stands to exacerbate existing economic disparities and 
 widen the wealth gap as Black business owners face challenges accessing 
 loans and other crisis resources. Meanwhile, with data from Mapping Police 
 Violence showing that Black people are three times more to be killed by law 
 enforcement than white people, an ongoing epidemic of police violence has 
 reached an inflection point, leading to massive demonstrations across the 
 country. How are Oakland's Black-owned small businesses navigating these 
 social and economic strains? How are they holding community 
 together?\n\nCommunity leaders and business owners join KQED's Pendarvis 
 Harshaw (Rightnowish) for a conversation about the compounding public 
 health crises of COVID-19 and police violence, how local governments are 
 addressing these issues, and what black businesses are doing to reopen 
 during unsettling times while serving their communities.\n\nGuests:\n- Eva 
 Paterson, Equal Justice Society\n- Cathy D. Adams, Oakland African American 
 Chamber of Commence\n- Loren Taylor, Oakland City Council, District 6\n- 
 Tucky Blunt, Blunts and Moore\n- Nenna Joiner, Feel More Adult\n- James 
 Queen, New Vision Fitness\n\nFree\n
