Background
To say that the pandemic has been a challenge would be quite the understatement. Each of us has in some way felt the hardships of loss: of our own movement, of our communities, and in the worst cases, of our loved ones. It has been a struggle that each of us has had to confront in our own corners and no matter what our station in life, our mental health has been put to the test.
But within these trying times, there have been moments of incredible solidarity. We watched around the world as people sang to each other and to the world from their balconies; we clapped and sounded out from our doorsteps for the health care workers who put the healing of others above their own comfort. We saw a wave of collective action against injustice that swept the globe. In darkness we have found hope, and that light continues to shine ever brighter.
