We are facing enormous uncertainty and unknowns. Many of us float between being steady and embracing the challenge ahead of us and then drift to a place of fear. We each are searching for ease and normalcy as we navigate the consistency of change. Change is constant. Beloved, however you are doing it, you are doing a good job!
We are witnessing the communal pivots that are happening and the call for us to become more of each other’s business while honoring social distancing. We don’t have all the answers but as organizers we believe in gathering the collective. We invite you to come and gather with Side With Love & Love Resists In These Times Webinar on April 2nd 2020 at 6:30pm EST/5:30pm CST/4:30pm MST/3:30 PST.

This moment presents us a window into how communities often on the margins find ways to survive. Whether we look toward Keith LaMar who has spent 27 years in solitary confinement providing tips on how to deal with social distancing or uplifting the work Black Lives Louisville who have been providing mutual aid not only in this time of coronavirus but since 2016, we have the tools to support each other in this moment and beyond.
This moment also gives us clearer examples of how society will use a global pandemic to perpetuate racism and xenophobia and prioritize corporations over people. Whether it is from Representative Moulton (MA) proposing a resolution to blame China (call him and tell him NO today) for the coronavirus or our inability to free people in prison and detention in the midst of this global pandemic, or Congress authorizing a $500 billion corporate bailout, we can still take concerted action to transform these unjust systems and demand justice.
We have a choice to move closer to dignity and interconnectedness in this moment. Side With Love will create opportunities to share these examples, rest in our collective wisdom, sing and reflect together as we brace for the new realities that are unfolding.
