Covid continues to covid. Infection rates are high. Asymptomatic spread is common. Every exposure could lead to extended illness. One out of every ten people who contract covid are likely to experience long term harm, including, but not limited to heart, lung & brain disease.

It was an honor to co-facilitate a session at @socialismconference.org alongside my dear friends @tanuja.bsky.social & @atenaoyadi.bsky.social. We gave away copies of The Understory Toolkit (and some mini chocolate croissants), shared some things we've learned and wrapped up with a group sing-along.
