CAAN Leadership surveyed Black staff at the start of the pandemic to gauge how the pandemic was affecting Black Staff. Black people are disproportionately affected by COVID-19, but we found it also disproportionately affects us as employees.
Sent November 2020. CAAN Leadership prepared a letter to all Bureau directors following a Black COVID Impact survey CAAN distributed in the summer after the 2020 Pandemic.
CAAN Leadership prepared a report on the City of Portland's Black Workforce. Distributed in March 2021.
