- Description
- PROJECT’S OBJECTIVES: The Homeless Voices Amplification Co-op (HVAC) works to amplify stories of unhoused individuals’ past and present work experiences. Recognizing that unhoused individuals are the most valuable source of knowledge on the realities of their employment, HVAC partners with the unhoused to create space for strategic community reflection as a means to further activism for economic justice. HVAC believes stories have the power to humanize individuals and undermine stigmas and stereotypes in ways statistics cannot. HVAC intends to draw upon the power of these stories to create a powerful, multi-dimensional online platform that can enhance efforts to mobilize the community.

- Amory Orchard Interview, May 28, 2020
- Date

- Creator
- Amory Orchard; Maren Orchard
- Description
- Amory Orchard, a PhD student in Rhetoric and Composition at Florida State University, discusses the personal and professional impacts of COVID. As both a teacher and a student, she shares how this crisis has put her life into "a stasis of constant reflection" as she, along with others in her field, questioned how to transition to online. She has found that a mix of synchronous and asynchronous teaching is best, to check-in often with students but also to accomodate those whose access to technology is limited. Amory has found support among her students, as well as her graduate cohort, her family, and her cat, Teddy. She hopes that we will learn to check in with each other more, even when there is not a pandemic.

- 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.

- Ayr; Dan Kerr
- Description
- Ayr discusses how he was going to visit friends and family across North America, but is no longer able to do this because of COVID-19. He said COVID-19 hasn't had a huge impact on him, and he did get to extend a visit to family in Texas once the virus hit the US, helping out his nieces and nephews with school work. The knowledge that life is a gift has kept him going through this time, which is not too big a change for him from "normal" times. He is trying to look for and focus on positivity during this time while staying with his mother. He hopes that our western, North American society continues learning to live in a different way, especially in terms of caring for the environment and each other, focusing on personal connections.
