"Solidarity through Social Isolation

The Coping with Corona Collective is an emergent community response to the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on our loved ones, our communities, and our movement efforts in ways that are still revealing themselves to us. The CWC Collective is using online spaces to bring people together where we can connect, learn, and support each other through our fear, grief, and confusion. Healers, policy makers, therapists, faith leaders, organizers, and cultural workers have made offerings that include conversations on dying, updates on policy advocacy, trainings on mutual aid, parent support circles, somatic work, a cooking show, and even zoom karaoke. This is an amazing, intimate, and profound collective space committed to being in solidarity even through our social isolation."

"Care in Uncertain Times Syllabus

These books, issues, and articles investigate different ways that care can bind together individuals and communities where larger institutions or governments fail to intervene. They show how radical care is essential to enduring precarity and to laying the groundwork for new futures.

All content is free to read online through June 30, 2020."
