Resources, Tools, and Articles in response to COVID-19
In these times of instability and loss, we deeply appreciate the many ways our communities and movements are drawing on practices of emergence, adaptation, resilience, and innovation to counter the violence being wreaked all around us.
We want to honor all of the great resources coming forward in response to COVID-19, and we know it can be overwhelming. We’ve created this page where free resources, tools, and reading materials can live, especially those offered by women of color and gender non-conforming folks. There’s a breadth of wisdoms here, and we hope this will be a space where folks can address immediate needs and come back to over time.
New tools and resources are being developed every day. We will keep this page updated as best we can. Please email info@movetoendviolence.org to suggest a resource that isn’t already included here.
