Digital Divide and the New Redlining.
Latino households have disproportionately lacked access to home Internet and this divide is growing bigger now that more students need to be online for distance learning. The co-author of the publication “On the Wrong Side of the Digital Divide” says this digital divide follows the same blueprint as the redlining maps of the 1930s and discusses policy recommendations.
Guests: Gissela Moya, Manny García Technology Equity Fellow, The Greenlining Institute, Oakland, CA;
Racism Affects Health for Generations. Racism is a public health crisis and the diseases that racial discrimination causes in people and in entire communities are passed from generation to generation.

Guest: Dr. Efrain Talamantes, Director, AltaMed Institute for Health Equity, Los Angeles, CA.
