How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

Dear PJP, This past week the corona virus pandemic has enabled me with the time to organize a Protest and community discussion against racism and police violence. The event was very successful as we were able to begin to create the fertile soil that can allow the BIPOC community to not just live but flourish. As we continue our social & racial justice work ... we are trying to find news ways to listen, understand and implement tangible change within our communities. It has truly been a trans-formative experience. Also, within the last week I start working again at one of my three jobs, ... the one I was most apprehensive of going back to because the nature of the work I do there requires me to be in close contact with people. ... ... As I begin to venture back into society though I still very nervous about the possibility of catching corona-virus. It makes me even more frustrated that our president has choose not to lead and take effective change but instead has allowed hundreds of thousands of people to died at his hands. I thought it could not get any worse with him, but somehow it always does. Thus, because of the lack of action taken to contain/ control this virus I fear catching it and bringing home to my more susceptible family members.
