Quaranzine3

In this time of isolation, I have been reminded how lucky we are to have books that introduce us to

The ugly, the bad, and the good news in our pandemic responses

Insights from Stacey Abrams, Barbara Ehrenreich, and Bathsheba Demuth

In this Quaranzine we ask: How will we transform together?

As publisher and editor of the Minnesota Women’s Press platform, I ask our readers: Help us find and share — in virtual forums, in our magazine pages — the stories about community-based economies, green cooperatives, and women-led innovations that are working to truly correct our inequities.

This is exactly why we are overdue in having conversations about how to build equity into our community. We must do work together so that those without privilege are able to improve on financial security.

From my vantage point, status quo unpleasantries in America run deeper than the unpleasant realities of this pandemic. These rooted issues have been addressed before, so I will spare the doom and gloom. What excites me is that I, among a myriad of others, have visions for alternative futures.

I would be lying if I said I want to see things return to what they were before COVID-19.
