On Wednesday, November 14, 2018 at 12:30 p.m. Eastern, the Economic Policy Institute will host a symposium celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Program on Race, Ethnicity, and the Economy (PREE). The event will bring together several of the nation’s eminent scholars, political thinkers, policy advocates, and activists for racial economic justice to engage in a discussion about what we know about racial economic inequality, policies for advancing greater economic justice, and the role of EPI and PREE in promoting this agenda as we embark upon the next decade of mobilizing economic research to address socioeconomic and racial injustices.
