Race, Ethnicity and Disability: The Financial Impact of Systemic Inequality and Intersectionality

Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color with disabilities face unique systemic challenges as a result of their intersecting identities. Centuries of exclusive practices in the United States, such as redlining and employment discrimination, have resulted in a society where people of color with disabilities, particularly Black, Indigenous, and Latinx communities, are at a particular disadvantage financially. ODEP’s LEAD Center will host a webinar on September 21 at 3PM ET in which attendees will learn about the financial conditions of people of color who live at the intersection of race, ethnicity, and disability.
