On Monday, April 13, 2020, PWN’s policy team and guest panelist Jessica Pinckney from In Our Own Voice answered questions submitted by PWN members and allies about everything related to COVID-19–the disease caused by the novel coronavirus–and the CARES Act (the stimulus package passed in March). This was originally presented as a Facebook Live, which you can see here (there are resources shared in the comment thread on the Live).
Some of the resources shared include:
- State-specific policy information from Kaiser Family Foundation
- Shelter-in-place information and resources for people experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity
- Information about emergency tenant protections and rent strikes
- State-by-state information about applying for unemployment
- A helpful infographic to help you figure out if you might have COVID-19 and when to seek medical care
- FAQ and resources for people living with HIV about COVID-19
