In the midst of a pandemic and protests over the killing of George Floyd Michigan’s Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist had a frank discussion in this week’s virtual town hall about possible reforms in policing while finding ways to reduce harm from COVID-19, especially in African American communities. In this extended video highlight, Jametta Lilly and Christine Bell of the COVID313 team also discuss with Gilchrist ways urban areas might be able to get better internet service. Please join the COVID313 Virtual Town Hall for Families and Students every Thursday from 12-2pm, featuring experts talking about coronavirus, education and school updates, accessing basic needs, and keeping your family healthy.
