2. Those facing racism, sexism, poverty, less access to resources will suffer and die on a much greater scale. 3. Both crisis are one of speed and scale and transformation. Both are stymied by government inaction or wholly inadequate responses. 4/n

4. "We're all in this together." We can't tackle the coronavirus or the climate crisis as individuals or cities or regions. Global crises call for global solutions. 5. We can learn from what city and state governments are doing, and other nations have figured out. 5/

On that last point, I've been thinking about the #ClimateCrisis as stage 4 cancer, and the #coronavirus as a heart attack that just hit you. Both are emergencies that can't be ignored, but the newest one is really in our faces right now. 7/

There is so much to learn and do right now even as the daily news and escalation re #coronavirus is disorienting and terrifying. My gut says that if we can think together, try things, tap into things, we'll catapult our organizing forward in important ways on all fronts. 8/

I'm eager to learn from you. What are you thinking? What have you figured out about all this? My thoughts aren't fully formed – they're growing, developing, expanding. So any contribution is very welcome! /FIN Tagging: @xiyebastida, @NaomiWadler @MakichyanA @israhirsi

I'm very interested and very uneasy at the same time. I think the virus has both made it simpler to talk about Climate because of the parallels but harder to make the case. The one thing that stands out is how the virus is a temporary thing in people's minds...
