Coronavirus and Activism
Description (Dublin Core)
I belong to a local organization called the “United Neighborhoods Of East Boston”. We are involved in the fight for affordable housing. As soon as the Coronavirus hit our focus shifted to advocating for renters rights and an extended eviction moratorium. The online meetings were much different than the large, noisy events and marches we were used to doing. But, we were able to do one event in person, which is shown in the picture, where we were educating people about their rights as renters. It felt very different to be wearing masks, social distancing, and giving out hand sanitizer like it was water.
