[BCFSN] COVID-19 - supporting each other

[Abra Brynne]

Thanks for those who are contributing to this important collective
conversation.

As I still have technical access to the BC Food Systems Network
listservs and the website, I can set up a page where we could post
resources related to COVID-19 on the website. I assume that it will be okay
for me to revisit my long time role as volunteer communications coordinator
for the Network.... Any objections?

"Social justice does  not come from passivity or non-caring. Justice must
be struggled for. That is what life is, or should be all about - striving
for justice. Not only or primarily as individuals, but as members of larger
communities." Ursula Franklin
