SUMMARY:Equity Reimagined: Medical Debt Overhaul\, Reparations and Policy Transformation in the DMV
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of the pandemic\, medical debt has become the largest category of debt collections in the United States and the single largest cause of people having to declare bankruptcy. The racial justice and health equity implications of medical debt are staggering. Those struggling with medical debt are less likely to seek the care that they need\, while Black DC residents are 300 percent more likely than white residents to be burdened by medical debt. This panel will illuminate the scope and impact of medical debt\, particularly on Black\, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) residents of the DMV\, and discuss ways to eliminate medical debt\, both through one-time giving and systemic advocacy. The discussion will highlight how private philanthropy purchasing and eliminating medical debt provides immediate relief to families dealing with the devastating consequences of medical debt\, why systemic policy reform to break the cycle of medical debt is needed going forward\, and what can be done. \nThe program will be the kickoff for an exciting Temple Sinai campaign to raise (an initial) $10\,000 to eliminate a minimum of $1 million in medical debt.  Click HERE to donate. \nLight refreshments will be served starting at 6:30 pm.  \nWhile we hope you can join us in person\, this is a hybrid program that can also be joined virtually. \n[button link=”https://templesinaidc.shulcloud.com/form/equity-reimagined” color=”black” newwindow=”yes”] Register[/button] \n  \nPANELISTS\n\n\n\n\nBerneta L.

SUMMARY:"Undesign the Redline" Exhibit at the Cleveland Park Library
DESCRIPTION:It’s not about the Metro!\nUndesign the Redline is an interactive exhibit that explores the history of race-based exclusion from DC neighborhoods. The exhibit explores the history of redlining — the explicit devaluation of residential areas based on race — in upper Northwest DC and helps us understand why inequities in housing and wealth persist. How can we “undesign” these wrongs? \n“Undesign The Redline DC” opens to the public at the Cleveland Park Library on Saturday\, April 13 and runs through July 11. Learn more at their website or email Barbara Kraft. \nFree\, public events held in connection with the Undesign the Redline exhibit will explore the racial history of upper Northwest DC and create opportunities for community-building and further discussion about how we can take action to repair the breach.  View the full list of these programs here. \nTemple Sinai is one of the primary sponsors of this exhibit. We have been working alongside local businesses and faith-based groups to bring it to fruition. \nExhibit Sponsors: Adas Israel Congregation\, Bernstein Management\, Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church\, Diane & Norman Bernstein Foundation\, Founders Bank\, Friendship Heights Alliance\, Historic Chevy Chase DC\, National Association of Realtors\, National Fair Housing Alliance\, Somerset Development Co.\, St. Columba’s Episcopal Church\, St. Paul‘s Lutheran Church\, Temple Micah\, Temple Sinai\, United Bank
