Read MoreSafer Gatherings Toolkit
in outlive them
Via The People’s CDC
The Safer Gatherings Toolkit: Community Care First! was developed by the Peoples CDC (1) to dispel mainstream narratives which minimize and normalize COVID transmission; and (2) to provide information about how to gather in person more safely in the midst of an ongoing pandemic.
With 2000+ people dying each week, pediatric hospitals full of children struggling to breathe, and countless people becoming newly disabled from Long COVID in this country; the Biden Administration’s talking heads continue to insist that we can wash our hands of COVID. The State has failed to provide protection and safety. It is up to us to protect each other, while advocating for public health protections that protect the most vulnerable. We cannot accept mass infection. We must make our in-person gatherings safer for EVERYONE.
We hope that this toolkit can be used as a conversation starter with local grassroots organizations, professional associations, unions, friend groups, and families. We hope that it moves all of us to think about choosing layers of protection as an act of practical solidarity and community care rather than as an individual act of personal safety.
There are so many ways to gather remotely, and we urge people to consider remote options whenever possible. When we are choosing to be together in-person, using multiple layers of protection is the best way to protect each other. This guide outlines 10 individual layers of protection and provides information about how and why to use each one.

Read MoreFighting a Pandemic Means Leading with Equity
The emergence of the Omicron variant highlights that vaccines alone will not end the pandemic and the US administration’s newly-announced pharmaceutical-dependent winter plan is far from adequate. To stop the spread of Covid-19, and prevent the emergence of even more virulent variants, we need strong public policies, not merely relying on individual actions.

Right now, corporate utility National Grid is expanding a massive fracked gas transmission pipeline in North Brooklyn. This project is not a replacement of leaking pipelines, it is an expansion to charge us, the rate-payers, millions of dollars in rate hikes to fill their shareholders pockets, and keep us locked into fossil fuels when we want to move onto affordable and clean renewable energy like geothermal, solar, wind and energy efficient buildings.
