A Virtual Event Series

The COVID-19 economic crisis has laid bare long-standing structural inequities in the US labor market. Yet, it has also afforded us an opportunity to generate new knowledge on policies and practices that could lead to transformative change for workers. 

Join us as we launch WorkRise, a new national platform for identifying, testing, and sharing bold new ideas for transforming the low-wage labor market. This week-long public conversation series will explore how to drive a truly inclusive economic recovery. Business leaders, worker advocates, practitioners, policymakers, and scholars will discuss how to rebuild our economy in ways that place workers of color, women, and young workers at the center and create pathways for economic security and mobility for all workers.

WorkRise is hosted by the Urban Institute. See below for full session descriptions and speaker lists. Separate registration is requested for each session.
