Virtual Event: Identifying Solutions to Address Wealth Inequities: A Conversation with Government, Business, and Nonprofit Leaders – Aug 26

Posted by Urban Institute on August 13, 2024

Wealth inequality is higher in the United States than in other developed countries and has risen for much of the past 60 years. As shown in the Urban Institute’s recently updated Nine Charts about Wealth Inequality in America, white families’ average wealth was more than $1 million higher than that of Black families and Hispanic families in 2022. Racial wealth inequities have persisted for generations, reflecting the long-standing effects of racist policies, not individual intentions or deficits. Addressing these deeply rooted inequities requires bold solutions and cross-sector collaboration.

Join the Urban Institute and leaders from government, business, and nonprofit organizations for an important and timely discussion about solutions to address wealth inequities and ensure that all people have opportunities to build wealth in America.

This event will be held virtually on Monday, August 26, 2024, 2:00-3:30 PM.
