COVID-19 Solidarity Response and Resources
In the LNS statement on COVID-19 solidarity, we call out that our public health crisis and our economic crisis are the predictable result of policies that put private profit first and the needs of people and the environment last. As we face the new existential threat that is the COVID-19 pandemic, LNS is staying true to its statement by committing ourselves to working in solidarity with labor and climate activists by creating a sustainable future by all means necessary.
