The two articles linked in this post demonstrate both the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on marginalized communities and how those communities have responded. The first article from The Atlantic ("Why Don't We Know Who the Coronavirus Victims Are?) highlights the lack of statistics on communities disproportionately affected by the coronavirus. The second article from Yes Magazine ("12 Ways Communities Are Taking Care of Each Other During the Pandemic") shows how communities who face systemic oppression and are often forgotten by our institutions are sharing resources and helping each other through the crisis. 

The juxtaposition of these two articles demonstrates how culture leads us to respond in particular ways and how we shape culture through our actions. Additionally, they show how power and equity affect our actions and responses.
