When people from ends & working-class communities die, infrastructures & ecosystem we rely on outside of the state for our survival is lost. A person is also a breadwinner, babysitter, therapist, translator, picker-upper of kids, shelter, place to eat etc 1/5

We lose entire ecologies, making us even more vulnerable. In the last few weeks, so many people i love & care about are experiencing bereavement, nearly all of them working-class and people of colour. We need to be better addressing class-based violence which is racialised 2/5

This means addressing poverty-induced trauma, because trauma is oppression. Trauma literally affects our physiology, (the quality/connection/functioning) of our body, organs, nervous systems, brain etc. 3/5

Our body has the tools reprogramme and heal some of this but it requires the things working-class folks are most depleted and deprived of, stability, resourcing, rest, time, capacity, feeling safe, access to physical environments that are good (air, food, land) etc 4/5

Right now as well as building structural change, we need to be working on how we all are creating that stability, resourcing, rest, time, capacity, feelings of safety, access to healthy physical environments (air, food, land) etc that working-class folks need everyday 4/5
