This preliminary report presents data on the racially disparate effects of the current recession. It lays out the need for race conscious policy design, and illustrates the shortcomings of a “universal” policy approach. It offers a preliminary assessment of the new Administration’s first steps, largely though an analysis of selected aspects of the proposed stimulus bill. It identifies broader opportunities and challenges for the new Administration, and concludes with big picture thinking regarding how we can respond to the crisis – the danger and the opportunity – that faces us today.
