For many of us, this must be a time for listening and learning as well as action. I'll seek to use my platforms to uplift organizations doing critical work. Join me in sharing, supporting and -- if you can -- donating to these organizations and efforts bringing change right now:
.@bailfundnetwork is helping free people facing pretrial incarceration. This work was urgent before because of the pandemic -- and even more so today. bailfunds.github.io
.@ColorOfChange is advocating racial justice through specific efforts to change corporate and public policies.

There is a way to safely reopen by summer, and stay open. It won’t be easy but it can be done. ethics.harvard.edu/covid-roadmap
It’s not a choice between continued economic anguish and accelerating widespread death. The way out is through massively increased Testing, Tracing, and Supported Isolation.
It would take 5 million tests a day by June, 20 million a day by July. It would take a national production board, and/or an interstate compact, to distribute the tests. It would mean enlisting at least 100,000 Americans to help with contact tracing. And it would take leadership.

It’s not too late, but soon it will be. Each passing day, more Americans are laid off—and an approach that forces most aid to go through the unemployment process could accelerate the displacement we are trying to avoid.
Of course, employer-based aid is not enough—cash is needed to support domestic workers, gig workers, the unemployed, and more. But covering wages for employers who keep people on the books is our best shot at keeping jobs intact.
And yes, with that said, it still makes sense to give Americans new ways to decouple all kinds of benefits (from retirement and sick leave to health coverage) from specific employment relationships.
