La Corona-Virus
La Corona-Virus: The most visible case of class hierarchy. Covid-19 has exposed the limitations of a system that has always deemed the most essential, as exploitable. Those among us sent to the frontlines- our care workers, essential workers, janitors, cashiers, mail carriers, nurses, farmworkers- lacking protective gear, health insurance, a living wage and paid sick leave. We need to re-think, re-imagine, re-invest in a sustainable system, rooted in equity and justice. Re-Structure a World where everyone has access to housing, healthcare, food and education. The covid-crisis has made visible, the 'invisible'. #FreeThemAll _________________________________ “COVID-19 deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black and Brown communities. Why? Because the chronic toll of redlining, environmental racism, wealth gap, etc. ARE underlying health conditions. Inequality is comorbidity. COVID relief should be drafted with a lens of reparations.” -AOC
