Coronavirus jolted so many of us into an unknown place of loss, fear, and trauma. We’re here to work together to demand the change we need to end the pandemic and support its survivors.
Support survivors. Save lives.
This movement is about all of us. It’s about supporting everyone whose lives have been reshaped by the pandemic. It’s about lifting up the voices of those whose grief and loss is overwhelming, and helping them get the resources they need to keep going. It’s about demanding better of our elected officials, so that the next time a pandemic is on the horizon, we act as a nation led by science. Support our work to build a safer, kinder America.
