Caring for our communities and ourselves
We began to practice physical distancing in early March 2020 and moved all of our classes online in less than one week. (BTW, we prefer the term “physical distancing” rather than “social distancing,” because people can still maintain our social connections in many positive ways.)
We are already seeing how this pandemic disproportionately affects low-resource and at-risk families. For instance, many part-time and hourly-wage workers’ hours are being cut dramatically, while others are being laid off. As we see this pandemic cause a widespread economic downturn, causes additional pressure on the families we serve. we need to recognize how the pandemic causes more severe consequences for people of color, in everything from morbidity rates to graduation rates. Inequality that have persisted in schools are only exacerbated by the crisis.
Keeping equity front and center
