Join us to commemorate Long COVID Awareness Day at a panel hosted by The Sick Times, the only news site dedicated to Long COVID and related diseases.
Journalists and organizers will look back on the past five years and discuss what’s next in the fight for pandemic justice. As the pandemic continues — but goes ignored by mainstream media, political leaders, and even leftist and advocacy organizations — it’s more important than ever to support and uplift the community members most impacted by this deadly and disabling disease. In this event, we’ll reflect on COVID history and discuss how leading NYC-based organizations are planning for the future.
