This State of the Art Plenary will bring together national experts on child poverty, racism and racial inequities, immigrant health, Native American culture, and environmental threats to discuss the intersectionality of child poverty. Poor children don't just suffer from "double jeapardy", but frequently "multiple jeapardy" from many overlapping threats to their health and development. The COVID-19 pandemic has further unearthed as well as intensified these threats to children including loss of financial resources, loss of nutritional supports, loss of family members, and loss of educational opportunity. Our speakers will be able to elucidate and contextualize the living "venn diagram" of these intersections for children and families. All of the speakers will also address the specific impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on these families who are vulnerable because of being under-resourced and often are marginalized, and will leave the attendees with what is a call for action to all of us.
