Rivers, pastor of Charity Missionary Baptist Church and vice president of Religious Affairs and External Relations for the National Action Network (NAN), shares his perspective on COVID-19 and how he has been engaged to make sure we are present at the table in all aspects of the pandemic, including testing and resources to protect our community.
