Dear Friend,
On March 14, my dad called me early in the morning to tell me that my
younger brother had tested positive for the coronavirus.
My brother is an Emergency Medicine Physician for one of the largest
hospitals in San Francisco, so I was not surprised that [ [link removed] ]he contracted
the virus. But he also has diabetes and asthma, putting him in a high-risk
group for complications. My whole family was terrified, but thankfully, my
brother is making a solid recovery.
We are all being touched by this pandemic in different ways, and the Trump
administration's inadequacies have made it harder to know what to do to
flatten the curve and slow the coronavirus spread. I have been given hope
in knowing that my brother and many others who have had positive results
are getting better each day, but death tolls are also rising. These are
scary times.
As a community, we need to continue to check-in with each other and
connect more often. Courage California wants to keep in touch with all of
you, our members, to know how you're doing and how we can help.
[ [link removed] ]We want to hear how this pandemic is affecting you and your loved ones.

Our team at Courage California has stayed committed in our virtual offices
to standing up for all and holding our elected officials accountable. We
have been flooded with requests to join new coalitions and partake in new
dialogues about how to ensure the rush to respond to the virus does not
come at the expense of vulnerable communities. Among other issues, we're
working to advocate for those suffering from California's housing crisis,
the risk of utility shut-offs, and unjust responses that exclude
immigrants.
We also want to give you some resources that may be helpful:
* [ [link removed] ]Federal updates on COVID-19
* California's [ [link removed] ]COVID-19 updates
* How the [ [link removed] ]CARES Act works for you
* Where to find help for [ [link removed] ]small businesses
* Your [ [link removed] ]rights as a renter during the pandemic
As the pandemic grows we must work together to flatten the curve while
continuing to work in partnership with allies to make sure we protect
everyone from what could be. [ [link removed] ]Please connect with us and tell us how
the crisis is affecting you!
Wishing you good health.
Molly Watson, for the rest of the Courage California team
