Coalition for Asian American Children and Families is proud to be working with a number of organizations of color to address the alarming rate of deaths in Black and Brown communities due to the inequities laid glaringly bare by COVID-19, as a function of white supremacy in our healthcare system.  Our communities are dying and getting sick at a faster rate than our white counterparts, while racist systems, by their very nature, render multiple communities’ pain and struggle invisible. 

Location: Across from Harlem Hospital, Corner of 135th and Malcolm X
