#WorldViewChats June 24
World View’s June 24th twitter chat is co-hosted by UNC-Chapel Hill’s Building Integrated Communities and will feature two short articles and one website centered around the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Latinx communities. Please review the following to learn more and join us for a discussion on Twitter at 1pm EDT on June 24 using the hashtag #WorldViewChats. We’d like to discuss with you the current state of the coronavirus in North Carolina, how Latinx populations are impacted and resources and support for these communities. We will be joined by representatives from UNC’s The Latino Migration Project’s Building Integrated Communities.
