Meet Dara. A front-line nurse and loving mother disabled by Long Covid. After her most recent infection, she suffered a stroke. But it hasn’t stopped her.

Clean air and layered protection is community care.
SARS-CoV-2 doesn't care about activism burnout.
Protect yourself and others. Mask up at LC/DC!
Leftists, lemme break this down—
Public air is shared.
Your “personal choice” to exist maskless stops being personal when you’re around other people.
40-60% of SARS-CoV-2 infections are asymptomatic. You can have it, not know it, & infect multiple people.
Hope this helps!
