Item 103 – Essential Worker #WearAMask
COVID has affected just about everyone in one way or another, and we need to remind the world how serious this pandemic is. Find someone whose life has been materially impacted by the pandemic – an overworked “essential” worker, someone who has been laid off, etc. Ask them to take a self-portrait holding a sign explaining their story briefly or how COVID has impacted their life. Post it on social media (with their consent) tagged #GISH and #WearAMask.
