"In Part 2 of this two-part series, we speak to a few people engaged in organizing and political education projects about their experiences trying to incorporate covid protections into their existing organizing work, wins and losses they've encountered, and why it's so important for the left to take covid seriously, even as the public health emergency comes to a close."

“If we're not thinking about the idea of collective liberation in all of our activism, then what are we doing?” says Wilder. “I want to live in a world where I care about you and you care about me and that we do things to make sure we can have the healthiest and happiest existence while we're here.”
