"Solidarity involves commitment, and work, as well as the recognition that even if we do not have the same feelings, or the same lives, or the same bodies, we do live on common ground." --Sara Ahmed

Going Into the Hospital: COVID 19 (Poem)

"When I walk out the door these days

For a shift in the hospital

Two small people cry at the door

My daughter and son.

4 and 1 1/2

Tears fall

big drops against their full brown cheeks"

So begins this moving poem by Sriram Shamasunder, a physician and father who is leading a HEAL Initiative medical team serving on the ground in Navajo Nation.
