King County Executive Dow Constantine will join several Community Leaders in a panel discussion to explore how King County’s COVID-19 recovery work can best address many of the persistent challenges that perpetuate inequities in our communities.
The panels will look at issues of economic inequality, racism, healthcare, climate, jobs and small business recovery, housing, education, childcare, food access, and transportation, and will ask the question: How can we make our region’s post-COVID future better than the pre-COVID past?
