For episode 3 of Distancing Racism, Erica Smiley (executive director of Jobs With Justice) joins Jeremie and Solana to underscore how our society has failed to care for workers of color who have been left behind in—and in some cases, lost to—the COVID-19 crisis. Smiley also explains how the current “climate of desperation” is fueling corporate profits and power. To honor and mourn the workers lost to the pandemic and our government’s inept response, Jobs With Justice launched the Workers’ Memorial Wall.
