Today @thesicktimes.org: @brittashoot.com on how Long COVID takes people out of social justice movements.
"Long COVID has taken many beloved people from us and caused others to lose capacities to be part of some community activities where they were very much needed," wrote @deanspade.bsky.social.
“As the pandemic wore on and official guidelines changed, fellow organizers seemed to forget or ignore the positive environment and social adaptations they’d witnessed, and refused to maintain protections like masking, meeting outdoors, and COVID-19 testing to keep one another safe.”
Long COVID disrupts struggles for justice, as activists and organizers with the disease are forced to suspend or change their tactics, facing a community that largely ignores COVID precautions.
