By ONME Newswire
Producer host Julia Dudley Najieb breaks down the $900 billion relief bill recently passed through Congress; three experts featured during the Ethnic Media Services briefing talk about the relief bill relative to unemployment insurance, eviction stats and vulnerable populations.
First Dudley Najieb reviewed two breaking news stories overnight: Newsom appoints California Secretary of State Alex Padilla to complete Senator Kamala Harris's term to 2023; he will be the first Latino senator representing California. CMBC Chair Dr. Shirley Weber has been nominated to fill Sec. Padilla's seat as the first African-American to serve in that position.
According to experts, African-Americans are more at risk and vulnerable to the evictions and unemployment than other ethnic minority groups during the COVID-19 pandemic.
