SOLIDARY RISING BLOG
As the world faces the Covid-19 pandemic , V-Day is thinking about our activists , artists , survivors , youth , and supporters around the world and how the virus will impact our communities , our work , our future . The pandemic has spotlighted and amplified the inequities in our existing systems . Our movement is global , with activists in every country . While many are staying at home to help flatten the curve , elderly and marginalized communities are without food , medicine , access to clean water , and other critical resources needed to protect from exposure . For so many survivors , home is not a safe place . Advocates worldwide are providing shelter as well as posting information and resources online to provide them with support .
The Solidarity Rising Blog Series was created to provide a platform for activists worldwide , as our movement meets this moment and we draw inspiration , ideas , hope , and love from one another .
Launched on 24 March with a post was from Luisa Rizzitelli , OBR Coordinator in Italy , writing about the Italian experience under quarantine and the necessity of early , decisive action and collective solidarity .
