DESCRIPTION:Voices from the Front Line: Health Care Workers and the Fight Against 
 Covid\n\nJoin this panel event where front line health care workers discuss 
 waging an intersectional, anti-racist fight against Covid-19.\n\nWednesday, 
 August 5, 2020 @ 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM PT\n\nRSVP: 
 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/voices-from-the-front-line-health-care-workers-and-the-fight-against-covid-tickets-114698514344?aff=erelexpmlt\n\nWith 
 states reopening around the country despite record levels of Covi-19 cases 
 and a growing death toll as well as a national debate about whether public 
 schools are safe to resume in-person classes this fall, it is clear that 
 government officials don’t care about the human cost of this pandemic. 
 Health care workers on the front lines of the crisis have been in the 
 trenches, seen the devastation first hand and continue to organize against 
 the inactions and callousness of the policy-makers.\n\nHear from front line 
 nurses and health care workers about their battles in the hospitals and the 
 nursing homes against Covid-19 and why the fight against this pandemic is 
 intricately linked to the struggle for Black lives and for dignity and 
 respect in the workplace.\n\nWhat is the current shape of the Covid-19 
 crisis? How is it impacting ordinary people and health care systems and 
 what can we be doing to fight back?\n\nSpeakers:\n\nElizabeth Lalasz is a 
 registered nurse at Stroger Hospital in Chicago, a steward with \nNational 
 Nurses United, and delegate to the upcoming 2020 California Nurses 
 Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee Convention. She contracted 
 COVID-19 and then returned to work on a COVID-only unit that primarily 
 served people incarcerated in Cook County Jail.\n\nSarah Jaffe is the 
 author of "Necessary Trouble: Americans in Revolt" and a Type Media Center 
 reporting fellow and an independent journalist covering labor, economic 
 justice, social movements, politics, gender, and pop culture. She is the 
 co-host, with Michelle Chen, of Dissent magazine’s Belabored podcast, as 
 well as a columnist at The Progressive and New Labor Forum.\n\nAdditional 
 speakers TBA\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/07/26/18835400.php
