Session 3: COVID-19 and Disability Justice
Reflect on these questions before coming to session!
How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect you and your family's/community's physical, mental/emotional, and financial health?
What messaging did you receive about COVID-19 from family members, community leaders, friends, health care providers, and government officials?
What does safety, health, and well-being look like for people with medical complexity or disabilities? How does this change if you are also experiencing poverty, racism, or other social drivers of health?
If you had political and legislative power and another pandemic affected your community, what steps would you take to ensure everyone had access to quality and affordable healthcare?
