COVID-19 Resources
During this time of extreme crisis that has impacted us on so many levels I wanted to make sure folks have the websites and links to different resources and organizing tools they need. We need to make sure folks have the housing, the care, and dignity they deserve. We are also organizing phone calls to our communities most vulnerable members. We know how this is impacting Black communities that have seen years of disinvestment but we will all get through this together because we will come together by rebuilding together.

Again, we are also organizing phone calls to seniors and supporting essential workers during this crisis. If we are to come out of this crisis with real safety, justice, and dignity we have to lift each other up. This effort is a multigenerational and multiracial effort to build a 21st Century where nobody is forgotten or mistreated.
