- Creator
- Andrea Echeverria; Tatiana Belenkaya
- Description
- Andrea Echeverria discusses the impact of COVID on her life. She shares that she has started teaching online, and that her four-year-old son has stopped going to school. This means that she can spend more time with him, and is surviving thanks to increased interactions with family and friends in Chile and Columbia. She has also been playing games online for the first time, and meditating everyday. Thinking about new stories and research projects, and looking for a new home, has also kept her going. Andrea reflects on how this crisis has led her to realize how fragile economic and social structures are, and how everything is so connected right now.

- Creator
- Angie Whitehurst; Dan Kerr
- Description
- Angie Whitehurst explores how she has reacted to the COVID-19 crisis. She feels that the city did not react fast or well enough, and says that we should listen to doctors, scientists, and public health officials before politicians. Angie shares cartoons that she has been working on about COVID for Street Sense that include important messages about making change and staying home. The cartoons additionally explore the economic impact of COVID, both personally and nationally, the racial implications, and the need for social justice in DC jails. She ends with a call to help our communities: "human kindness is what we really need right now."
