Pandemic Activism and Pacing Buddies: A Conversation with Covid Safe Colorado

Aug 26, 2024

Two of our volunteers were interviewed on A Friend for the Long Haul: A Long Covid Podcast

“Welcome to season two of A Friend for the Long Haul – A Long Covid Podcast! Thank you for being here! For episode one, join me as I sit down with Katrina and Corey, the founders of Covid Safe Colorado. Covid Safe Colorado is a grassroots organization dedicated to providing high-quality masks to vulnerable communities in the state. Learn about their journey from starting a mask bloc to building a supportive network of volunteers.

In this episode, we delve into the challenges and triumphs of pandemic activism, the importance of community-led initiatives, and the personal impact of long Covid. Katrina and I also share our experiences as “pacing buddies,” exploring how mutual support can help navigate the complexities of chronic illness. If you’re considering starting a mask bloc on your own, Corey and Katrina share their lessons learned and offer advice and resources to help you get started.

Don’t miss this conversation about compassion and the power of collective community care. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share for more episodes. And if you’re feeling extra generous, leave a review. Your support helps me keep bringing you episodes.”
