We know that COVID-19 is not “equal opportunity.” People who contract the virus and people who die are disproportionately people of color, particularly Black people. The data available so far illustrate clearly how the pandemic affects different racial groups differently.
A recent Bread for the World Institute resource, “Racially Equitable Responses to COVID-19,” explains how systemic racism causes such inequitable outcomes. Some of the aspects of racism that most affect both hunger and COVID-19 are job segregation, residential segregation, inequitable access to health care, and interpersonal racism.
Late in 2020, as the release of COVID-19 vaccines was on the horizon and then as the United States began the monumental task of vaccinating as many people as possible, several organizations began efforts to track data on access to vaccines and then use this information to develop ways to advance racial equity.

As 2021 begins, Bread for the World Institute, along with many others in the United States, is trying to discern a way forward in the aftermath of the January 6 attempted coup. I never expected to write “attempted coup” about our own country. But what happened at the Capitol is how coups often unfold.
The coup attempt targeted the very last step of the process before the inauguration of a new president congressional approval of the results of the presidential election as certified by the Electoral College and each state. It is usually a formality since the ballots have already been counted, checked, and rechecked.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic further revealed the legacy of unresolved racism by disproportionately harming Black and Brown communities. The looming question that many policymakers including President-elect Joe Biden and the new Congress must face is how to address these racial inequities.
The answers can be found in a new report from Bread for the World Institute: “Racially Equitable Responses to COVID-19.”
The report compares the national death rates per 100,000 people in each racial group: 80 for Black people, 67 for Indigenous people, 59 for Pacific Islanders, and 46 for Latino/as compared to 36 for white people. Whether the data comes from the county, state, or national level, the report shows that Black communities have the highest COVID-19 infection and death rates of any racial or ethnic group.
