SUMMARY:People’s Health Sanctuary presents: End-of-Life in the Age of Covid
DESCRIPTION:In the midst of unprecedented personal\, national and global oppression\, suffering and death\, how do we process loss to maintain hopeful connections? End-of-Life in the Age of Covid features conversations about our experiences of death\, end of life care\, and the creation of social and spiritual community during the pandemic. How do we honor the memory and voices of the dying? How can our grief inform and inspire us to create a new world that is inclusive\, and responsive to the needs of marginalized populations most hard hit by Covid?  \n\n\n\nJoin us for an initial conversation to process our personal and collective grief and loss. \n\n\n\nModerator: Corinne Carey \n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\nMarne Lucas\, artist and end of life doulaUrban Grief\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBIOS \n\n\n\nCorinne Carey is a political & public affairs strategist taking on bold public health initiatives backed by sound evidence & human rights. Carey is the campaign director of Compassion & Choices New York. Compassion & Choices improves care\, expands options and empowers everyone to chart their end-of-life journey. \n\n\n\nCompassion & Choices’ award-winning video features the groundbreaking filmmaker Hammer urging New York lawmakers to pass the Medical Aid in Dying Act. “My cancer is incurable … I will reach a very debilitated state\,” she says in the video\, in which she notes that she suffered through more than 100 chemo treatments for ovarian cancer over 12 years before entering hospice in late 2018. “I would so much like to be able to manage my own death by choosing the time and the person I’d like to have with me so that I can die in comfort and with compassion and not in pain and morphine-drugged.” Hammer died on March 16\, 2019\, at age 79 in her Manhattan home without access to this gently dying option. In February\, Oscars in Memoriam honored her for her legacy as an experimental filmmaker. Watch the entire award-winning video of Barbara Hammer urging New York lawmakers to pass the Medical Aid in Dying Act. \n\n\n\nCorinne Carey is a radio producer with Hudson Mohawk Magazine on WOOC 105.3 FM.  \n\n\n\nMarne LucasMarne is an artist and end of life doula. As a multidisciplinary artist her work investigates social justice related projects such as Bardo ∞ Project\, an ongoing exploration of creativity as a form of spiritual end of life care\, and video installations using infrared imaging technology to reference surveillance culture and the fragility of human existence. She is in-training at Parker Jewish Institute to be an INELDA certified end-of-life doula\, and currently serves as a client board member at URAM\, a Harlem United health agency. \n\n\n\nUrban Grief \n\n\n\nLisa Good\, MSW\, is founding the director of Urban Grief\, a trauma-informed community-based organization that educates on the effects of violence and supports those affected through outreach and victim advocacy. She is the former director of SNUG (formerly known as Cure Violence) and has over 25 years of human service experience. She is an experienced speaker and trainer\, facilitating trauma-informed workshops such as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)\, and community events\, and faith-based workshops aimed at creating healing spaces and empowering community members through information about trauma\, grief\, and resilience. \n\n\n\nhttp://lisawgood.com/ \n\n\n\nUrban Grief is trauma informed and healing centered 501(c)(3) community-based organization. Urban Grief responds to the traumatic impact of community violence\, death and loss through community education\, crisis response\, victim advocacy and grief support.

UG acknowledges the prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)\, along with chronic exposure to traumatic events\, and strives to avoid further re-traumatization. \n\n\n\nEnd-of-Life in the Age of COVID organizing team \n\n\n\nDr. Xavier Coughlin\, Kathy High\, Corinne Carey\, Nancy Weber\, Branda Miller \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMORE ABOUT THE PEOPLE’S HEALTH SANCTUARY\n\n\n\nThe People’s Health Sanctuary‘s goal is to establish a central space to share health skills\, provide basic integrative care and explore ways to build networks of community health. We are celebrating a year of organizing around this project\, initiated under the organizing name Health Autonomy Clinic and after listening sessions with our surrounding community\, re-named People’s Health Sanctuary. Our goal is to embrace models of open sharing of health knowledge\, and empower all of the growing collective of community members to seek their independent health goals\, as opposed to the traditional\, hierarchical top-down approach of clinical medical practice. Though caring for our elders\, our children\, or cooking soul-nourishing food for family or friends may not be deemed ‘real’ healthcare\, they know that in fact\, it’s what holds us together and keeps us sane. Our growing network sharing skills to build a space where creative\, joyful health is possible and accessible. \n\n\n\nIn this current crisis\, we are more than even committed to the potential that People’s Health Sanctuary can offer.  Everyone it seems is struggling to keep up with the flood of information about the current crisis\, the ways those in power are forcing us back to a “normal\,” the over-reliance of the economy as a marker of anything lending towards health.  And then we have the horrific news from Georgia and Minneapolis\, the killings of Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd\, a stark reminder of the crisis behind the crisis. COVID has only exacerbated the social oppression and disparities that mark the “normal” so many of the elites want to return to.
