Sounding the Alarm
Virtual town halls educate and empower the black community during the pandemic "In March, we began distributing food, water and face masks to unhoused people in South Sacramento and Oak Park in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. We did this as members of the Sacramento Area Black Caucus, the Sacramento Poor People’s Campaign and the Sacramento Services Not Sweeps Coalition. All three groups are focusing our collective advocacy efforts on the pandemic and how it is impacting people experiencing homelessness in our community. What we encountered alarmed us. We saw that many of the homeless were not wearing face masks and weren’t observing social distancing. They didn’t seem to understand the danger, which was even more disturbing. When we asked, they usually replied that they didn’t have a mask or couldn’t find one." -

Anishinaabe Pandemic Prophecies by Isaac Murdoch
From the Yellowhead Institute’s website: “As we collectively grapple with this pandemic and supporting each other though it, the efforts of Yellowhead and our call for collaboration, along with Isaac Murdoch’s contributions a COVID-19 webinar hosted by Idle No More and Indigenous Climate Action, came together in a beautiful team effort to create this animated video. Murdoch, along with Travis Porter and Fallon Simard worked together to draw, animate and edit this message about Anishinaabe prophecy, knowledge and experience with pandemics.” -

Impact of COVID-19 on Elderly
COVID-19 hits eldery the hardest compared to other age groups. Group homes for the elderly are almost comparable to those in the hospital, not only risking other eldery but also workers. A common issue in homes are those who have dementia or alzheimers makes it difficult to stop the spread. Elderly are often being refused care in favor of those with COVID-19 as they can make more money this way. -

The World Exists in the Palm of My Hand
The object I'm submitting does not only show us its important during this Pandemic but in everyday life. This object has merely existed for no more than 30 years but has had profound impact on our society. Companies Like Apple Inc. and Samsung Group have made fortunes seeing these items to us. The object that I believe has made a massive impact on my life and the lives of many people around the world are cellphones. These small bricks of metal and plastic seemingly run the world. They control humans and push forward everything from the spread of information to entertainment. Without my phone to keep me entertained, connected, informed and busy; the quarantine and the Pandemic in general would have been much hard. Anywhere in the world I connect and communicate with anyone. During a time when we weren't allowed to leave home phones became a lifeline for communication. I find it very interesting that before the Pandemic people would blame phones for the lack of human contact. Now that the Pandemic has been in full swing the only form of contact we have is through these phones. -

Sunset of the Workers
On May 19, while Metro Manila was already on its 4th day under the Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ), our neighborhood (Barangay 156, Caloocan City) was enduring the 7th day of our 8-day total lockdown. From our 3rd floor terrace, at the close of day, I chanced upon these construction workers atop the Skyway Stage 3, still keeping their noses to the grindstone, despite the risk of getting COVID-19. -

Woman Serves Breakfast by Lowering Her Orders in a Bucket
During quarantine, all restaurants were closed. This woman had a food truck and her reputation gave her a large following. When she was forced to close, she started making her famous breakfast sandwiches in her small apartment's kitchen. Her customers would preorder, then line up (socially distanced of course) to pick them up. She would lower the orders down from her fire escape to her clients. Pretty cool gal! -

Another Day, Another Puzzle - Day 67
With calendars cleared as a result of shelter-in-place orders we have had more time to enjoy some of our family's favorite past-times. Cards and board games that were collecting dust have made their way out of cabinets. But what we've spent more time on than anything is puzzling. While each member of our family will puzzle here and there, our 5 year old son is a constant at the puzzle board. His attention and focus to puzzling is way beyond his years. Puzzling has given us the gifts of togetherness, joy, and consistency during these uncertain times. After completing a number of 300 piece puzzles on his own, our son decided he was ready to move up and asked to do a 1000 piece puzzle! He let mom and dad help a lot more with this puzzle but primarily only to sort pieces. He never gave up and I am very impressed by his ability to work on a puzzle over multiple days without ever getting frustrated. -

Amid COVID-19 Crisis, Duterte Regime Seeks to Discredit Indigenous Humanitarian Organizers in the Philippines

This grant helped CPA and its collaboration with the Kaling Peoples of Kalinga province to launch the “Let the Chico River Flow Free” campaign, which aimed to educate Indigenous communities on their rights to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC), particularly as it related to a series of hydropower projects carried out by the Philippine government that threatened the environment and livelihood of the Kalinga Peoples." -

How environmental racism is fuelling the coronavirus pandemic
News about the disproportionate death rates among the black community has been unnerving to many people, including myself. Why is this the case? In this article, Harriet Washington explores how environmental racism has contributed to this due to poverty, access to health care, and living conditions, among other factors. White privilege is sweeping, and I have certainly benefited from it in too many ways to name. I think it's important for all white people to use the power of their privilege to lift the voices of marginalized people and advocate for the reforms necessary to ameliorate injustices and inequalities. -

LGBT Africans Share Challenges of Life During Pandemic
This press release from the Human Rights Watch discusses a new podcast called AfroQueer. It discusses a variety of topics and how issues faced by LGBT Africans have been compounded by Covid-19. As a white gay man living in the United States, it is disturbing and saddening to learn of the plight of LGBTQ people in other countries and how these problems can be exacerbated by race. The theme that is emerging in marginalized communities is that the world won't stop its oppression of their identity and personhood, even during a global pandemic. -

Drive-Thru Testing Ramps Up in Kansas
The Healthcore Clinic's mobile COVID-19 drive-thru testing station at the Wichita State Metroplex in east Wichita, Kansas, on the afternoon of May 19, 2020. One of three stations in the city, the Metroplex site had only been in operation for eight days at the time of this photo's creation, thus reflecting the slow implementation of available testing since the beginning of the outbreak, and the absolute necessity for it to contain the coronavirus's spread. Moreover, those being tested are doing so by their own volition, as there was no mandate from government authorities requiring compulsory testing. Aaron Peterka, Northeastern University -

Photo taken of last day of work
Working at a school during COVID-19 has felt like a whirlwind. The transition to an online format with no notice and a sort of "learn as we go" training has been tiring. I'm grateful that things worked out and that schools were still able to provide quality educational opportunities despite being shuttered. Turning in my keys for summer was bittersweet. It'll be nice to take time to reflect and decompress over the summer, and plan for a potential return in the fall. It was a very odd first year in education, and an odd way to end the school year. A cloud of uncertainty hangs over the future and what will happen next, but if educators can survive this year, they can survive anything. #ASU #HST580 -

Adapted Workstation
Since mid-March, my school has been doing online distance learning (ODL). And due to ODL, my kitchen counter has become my one-and-done workspace. It is my classroom, my art room, my breakroom, and, still, my kitchen counter. It has become a bit cluttered with my laptop; a desktop; a keyboard, mousepad, and cd drive; two sets of earbuds; my Eiffel Tower art project; a water glass; some random candy; a charging cable; an empty yogurt cup, a grapefruit half, and some eggshells from breakfast; a pencil; a USB drive; the list goes on. On the floor and table behind the frame are even more art supplies; a computer case that has been empty since March; my school books, binders, and notebooks; more pencils and pens; a graphing calculator. Almost everything I could possibly need during school – books, food, pencils, etc. – can now be found within a five-foot radius of where I sit; in effect, further limiting the already negligible distance I travel every day. 10:00 am. In the middle of my first period class. -

COVID19 was seen as a joke until people in the states started to get infected with the virus and soon enough a stay at home order was put in place. My school closed down, and classes continued online. I’ve been seeing people complaining about their zoom classes, and it makes me grateful that my school doesn’t make us sit through awkward video chats with our teachers. A normal seventeen year old would expect the same basic routine when it came time to their last year in highschool. Prom, grad night and of course that emotional ceremony where you would say your final goodbyes to the people you practically grew up with. I don’t think any senior this year was expecting, or prepared, for their last year of hell to be cut short, I mean I sure wasn’t. Most parents don't even remember what was detailed in their senior moments of high school, but this year, 2020, will definitely be hard to forget as the years go by. Sadly, my boss informed me that the store I was working at would also be closed down because of the virus. I thought that since I had more time on my hands I would be able to at least use it to work, and save money for my car, but I guess things change. I'm so grateful for the people who are risking their lives to help cure those who have been infected. In Riverside county there have been 5,952 cases, 3,833 recoveries, and 261 deaths. These doctors and nurses are sacrificing their own health and while all were asked to do is stay at home. The question that still remains is when will we be able to socialize with our friends again, and when will we be able to go about our days without having to wear masks and gloves? -

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the lives of many people. In my case, this has affected me in my education in different ways. First, universities and colleges had to close. I used to go to college four days a week, so my routine changed completely. Now with the spread of COVID-19, I have to stay home because it is safer and also help to stop the spread. I have to admit, I was enjoying being home, but after a few days I was easily bored. Second, students who planned to graduate this spring semester may have a very different graduation. I heard that the university is planning some surprises for them, but I am sure they would rather have a "normal" graduation. I was pretty sure the summer classes would be online, but I didn't think about having the fall semester online too. I agree and disagree with the college’s decision to plan the fall classes online. I think it is a good idea to avoid future spread. However, I also think that maybe it may be an exaggeration, but my sister always says: "I don't believe in this virus, but just in case I protect myself." This epidemic has some good things. In my case, I am using my extra time to cook healthier foods and I have even experimented with new recipes. I have more time to talk to my loved ones. My grandmother can now make video calls. My sister can spend more time with her son. I am planning to learn something new when the semester ends. I hope to be able to travel with my mother to Mexico and see my family. I would like to be with them in this difficult time. Our planet Earth has also benefited from this virus because it now has less pollution. My advice to get over this virus is to stay home and follow the rules. -
