The virus has forced organizations to cancel revenue-generating annual events or shift them to virtual settings, and their grassroots fundraising could take a hit as families are impacted by coronavirus-related health care costs, layoffs and furloughs
Hundreds of gun-control advocates got together Thursday to celebrate “gun-sense” candidates. They didn’t wear masks or gloves or stay in their vehicles to maintain proper social distancing.Unlike conservative protesters — who have stormed state capitols in recent days to urge governors to reopen their states, risking the spread of coronavirus — left-leaning groups are putting safety first.
Left-leaning groups are relying on a combination of creativity and technology to keep their supporters engaged in the coronavirus era — without putting their members or volunteers in harm’s way. "I’m just hoping that we don’t see an uptick in hospitalizations in a week after these protests,” Sievers added.
Progressive groups, health care organizations and unions tested out one form of socially distant protest last week, planting 1,000 pop-up signs on the lawn at the U.S. Capitol that displayed the faces of frontline health care workers to advocate for adequate personal protective equipment. A virtual rally the group held last week calling for the release of Palestinian prisoners from Rikers Island drew hundreds of participants in a Zoom room, while thousands more watched on Facebook. Stefanie Fox, JVP’s executive director, said the rally was structured so that movement leaders could speak, while giving participants breaks to tweet, record videos, and text and call their representatives and senators.
