"Nonprofit leaders, does your organization speak of the pandemic in the past
tense? No testing, masking, or vaccination policies to speak of? Back to all
in-person everything, including those beloved happy hours, retreats,
conferences, and gala events?
One more question: have you considered how COVID-19 minimization and denial
will impact your organization’s ability to survive long-term, and how failure
to adapt to the reality of the present moment is disabling and in some cases,
even killing staff and supporters?
It’s not fun to think about. It contradicts the dominant “back to normal at all
costs” and “keep producing and consuming no matter what” messaging we are
receiving at all levels of society. It forces us to think about where we may
have caused harm. It means that we need to create and advocate for systemic
change around yet another issue.
But isn’t that why so many of us are here—to do the very hard work of tackling
systemic issues in service to a more just and equitable world? Why are we
ignoring something that has such widespread implications for our communities
and movements?"
