More than 3 million Americans applied for unemployment insurance this week, a number that experts say is likely an undercount, particularly in communities of color. Those communities have lost massive income with small businesses and individual proprietors forced to close their doors. And while hospitals are bearing the brunt of caring for rising numbers of COVID-19 victims, it’s community health centers that are where residents in communities of color turn to first. And they are struggling to meet the increased demand. The crisis has highlighted structural inequalities that already existed, and nowhere is that clearer than at the grass roots level in communities of color.
