Join the conversation to discuss what our post-Covid-19 future could look like. The pandemic has had a tremendous impact on those already made vulnerable by social and economic systems that expect them to fill gaps left in our society and institutions, whether health care, elder care, child care, education or other. These gaps have grown and been further exposed during the pandemic.

Women have often these gaps and then also became shock absorbers during the pandemic, while also serving as paid essential workers, doing double and triple duty at home. The work of supporting communities and households is done by many who are invisible-- often the poorest among us, often women and racialized individuals. What has also been brought to the fore is the power of social movements to push for change, like the Black Lives Matter movement and the Feminist movement. How do we work together to ensure that our future post-Covid-19 is one that centres collective care of each other and the planet, and one that justly supports those needing, providing and receiving care?
