OUR PATH FORWARD

Long before the COVID-19 crisis hit, disparities have been widening in metro regions across the United States. In the greater Seattle region, disparities around race, gender and geography not only harm some people and communities more than others—particularly Black and Indigenous people —they inhibit the well being of the entire region. Shared prosperity—the idea that we all do better when we all do better—is central to the way Civic Commons addresses these threats and inequities to create a fair system in which everyone has access to the opportunity and resources they need to thrive. With this framework in mind, we convened a panel for a webcast exploring shared prosperity, what it means, and the possibilities it presents for making equitable change in our community.
