Description
In this focus group, Participants 124 and 125 share that their biggest source of support during the COVID-19 pandemic was their family and communities. One of the participants is a teacher and shares their experience in transitioning to remote learning. Participants state they were disappointed by the government's reaction to the pandemic, and share sentiments that the government treated their lives as if they didn't matter. Participants also express sadness over how Black and brown communities were treated during the pandemic.
