"Who are we? We are a multiracial, multiethnic and international group of
queer, disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent writers, workers, artists,
and organizers from various socioeconomic backgrounds and different sets of
lived experiences. This document represents the labor of those whose resources
we drew from and gathered, our own original words, and feedback from others who
have already begun the hard and necessary work of talking to their loved ones
about the realities of Covid. We are grateful to everyone whose work and care
has made this living document possible, and we plan to continue expanding it
together.
This is not a universal resource, and unfortunately reflects a Western,
U.S.-centric bias in its current form; part of this is structural and due to
the fact that the pandemic itself has largely been driven by the United States
and its destructive policy choices from the start. We are still working toward
a more global and more modular version of this document and are already working
on the next draft. Until then, we hope that your conversations will always move
toward a discussion of Covid as a global issue, not just an American or Western
one. We hope that you will use this resource as a starting point in your own
conversations and find local statistics for your area whenever possible,
keeping in mind that this pandemic is global and has disproportionate impacts
across the globe.
We created this resource in our spare time and will continue to improve and
expand it moving forward by analyzing information from the real-world
conversations people are having. We would greatly benefit from your experience
of having Covid conversations in your life and any feedback you have for this
document. Thank you for reading, and thank you for your advocacy."
