Chelsea Clinton, Cory Booker, Jose Andres, and More to Address Systemic Inequality At No City Limits EventPeople, Feb 15, 2021
Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton will join Sen. Cory Booker, famed chef Jose Andres, and other speakers next week to address inequality and systemic racism during the fifth annual No City Limits conference, hosted by the poverty-fighting Robin Hood foundation.
The 2021 event will take place virtually amid the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and will bring together leading national voices from non-profit organizations, philanthropy groups, the government, and other community groups, who will speak out about ways to address poverty across the country and its roots in systemic racism.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Clinton says the novel coronavirus pandemic has laid the country's inequalities bare.
"COVID-19 and the failure to protect public health have been disastrous for the most vulnerable," Clinton, 40, tells PEOPLE. "Reimagining the fight against poverty means not only alleviating the suffering caused by pandemic, but also rewriting our nation's systems and structures so that all our children can thrive—regardless of background."
"No City Limits 2021 will help provide the critical insight we need to rebuild a fairer country," adds Clinton, the former first daughter and current vice chair of her family's Clinton Foundation.
