[5/8] * Pre-pandemic data reflect the lowest food insecurity rates had been in more than 20 years, but the current crisis has reversed improvements made over the past decade since the Great Recession.
[6/8] * We need the #data to fight for #healthjustice. In this case, the data says that our most #VulnerablePopulations that already were affected disproportionally in terms of food security are being hit the hardest during the pandemic.
[7/8] * Before the pandemic, Black individuals were 2.4 times as likely to live in food-insecure households as White individuals (19.2% vs. 8.1%). This stems from centuries of #systematicracism that also have caused longstanding economic and #healthinequities
[8/8] *Before the pandemic, Latino individuals were almost 2x as likely to live in food-insecure households as non-Hispanic white individuals (15.8% vs. 8.1%).
*Systemic inequities that face communities of color are particularly visible during times of crisis.
