- Angie Whitehurst Interview, April 16, 2020
- Date

- Creator
- Angie Whitehurst; Dan Kerr
- Description
- Angie Whitehurst explores how she has reacted to the COVID-19 crisis. She feels that the city did not react fast or well enough, and says that we should listen to doctors, scientists, and public health officials before politicians. Angie shares cartoons that she has been working on about COVID for Street Sense that include important messages about making change and staying home. The cartoons additionally explore the economic impact of COVID, both personally and nationally, the racial implications, and the need for social justice in DC jails. She ends with a call to help our communities: "human kindness is what we really need right now."

- Date

- Creator
- Britt Dorfman; Dan Kerr
- Description
- Britt Dorfman addresses the concerns she has being in a high-risk category. She has Crohn’s disease, which is under remission, but she takes immunosuppressant medications. Given her circumstances, she hopes people stay home and safe, but she realizes that is harder for some than others. She has had a paycut at her job and her financial situation is harder. The cost of living in DC is very high. On the positive side, she has made stronger connections with old friends, family, co-workers, her roommate, and her cat. She attends virtual Shabbat services, which have helped her unwind. She would like us to learn that everyone is valuable, and no one is disposable. Everyone plays an important role, and we need to respect each other.
