Jae, an organizer with Mutual Aid Distribution Richmond (MADRVA), shares their experience with Long Covid and how masking in community care work is crucial for health and safety: “There’s every reason to care about Covid. If you’re talking about labor, if you’re talking about queer, Black, Indigenous people, they’re much more likely to have worse consequences from a Covid infection, whether that’s asymptomatic or not. I want you to be safe. I want you to be healthy. I don’t want you to get disabled from this work and then not do it anymore. That’s not sustainable.” Help us reach our $5k fundraising goal to help MADRVA buy their building: givebutter.com/buymcm (link in bio) Editing by @MidwestsideGunn (Jacob) | Contact: jacjack.carrd.co Video Description: Jaydo and Jae sit in the backyard of Meadowbridge Community Market seated in chairs and wearing respirators while discussing mutual aid, community care, and Covid safety.
