Attached you will find this week's Weather Report from the People's CDC. This week's issue covers the state of COVID in the U.S. and across the globe, resources to help keep yourself and your community safe, and a few advocacy action opportunities.

As always, the People’s CDC acknowledges that COVID's impacts and resulting collective trauma have fallen disproportionately on older, disabled, immunocompromised, poor and working class, Black, Indigenous and people of color. For more information about how you can help stop the spread of COVID and act in care of communities across the U.S., visit us at peoplescdc.org.

In solidarity,
People's CDC
