About the position
The mid-Atlantic region of Delaware, Maryland, DC, and Virginia faces grave, inter-connected challenges, including unemployment, racial and economic inequality, and environmental destruction. The pandemic has made these problems worse. People of color and people without access to clean air are dying from COVID-19 disproportionately. Our region is down 480,000 jobs since the spring of 2020, and the economic recovery has slowed.
The communities who bear the brunt of these problems have not had much of a say in what the solutions should look like. This has led to responses that are inadequate and, sometimes, exploitative.
