Virtual Event: Conversations on Food Justice, Session 10: Race, Poverty, and the Barriers to Accessing Social Benefit Programs – Mar 8
Posted by The Aspen Institute on March 1, 2022
Race and policymaking are deeply intertwined in the United States’ history, driven by systemic racism and stereotyping to restrict economic and social benefits from marginalized communities. Which brings to question how helpful the nation’s social safety net is for the many households experiencing poverty.
Aspen Institute’s Food and Society Program welcomes experts in public health, policymaking, relevant sciences and research, among many other professions to explore practical solutions for food system challenges and inequalities. The 10th session of the Conversations on Food Justice series focuses on the way people understand the social safety net in the U.S. through the lens of racial structuring, and to challenge the assumptions about how these vital programs are used, who uses them, and why.
The event will take place on Tuesday, March 8 at 1:30pm ET.
