SOLIDARITY BUILDING, COVID-19, AND FRONTLINE WORKERS

Written by JYOTI SINHA Posted July 12, 2020 Filed Under: COVID, NEWS+OPINIONS, Op-Ed

The mission of building solidarity within the South Asian community is akin to other movements such as Black Lives Matter. How can we learn from them in order to connect our own community? For many South Asians committed to fighting state violence against Black people, it is clear that our work in being allies relies on undoing anti-Black ideologies within our own communities.

IN SOME COMMUNITIES, THE SOCIAL BARRIERS TO ACCEPTING AID ARE REAL

Written by JYOTI SINHA Posted June 17, 2020 Filed Under: COVID, NEWS+OPINIONS, Op-Ed

"Food Donation-2-19-2012" by Tonyx035 is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0

By accepting aid from the food drive, people feel their class status is visible and for some men, their masculinity is exposed and denigrated. People are more vulnerable to feeling ashamed and disgraced as they may be incapable of taking care of their family during the pandemic. In the face of shame, one may feel trapped, powerless and isolated.
