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.

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.

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.

This youth science mentorship program is a project of Media Sanctuary’s NATURE (North Troy Art Technology and Urban Research in Ecology) Lab Environmental Education Center and Riverkeeper.

Our vision is to use the farm as a way to engage young people in the magical and empowering process that is food production. Children and youth are involved in all aspects of food production and farm care: seeding\, transplanting\, watering\, weeding\, harvesting\, and ultimately preparing and eating. We have farm stands on Tuesdays and Wednesdays\, where we make our produce as accessible as possible to our community. Participants learn how to turn the vegetables they grow into healthy snacks and dishes. \n\n\n\nWe are committed to racial and economic justice and we are working to create a more equitable food system for all. As we do this\, we find different ways for our youth to make change in our community. We have recently started having a Book Club this summer. Since then\, we have read Stamped the Remix by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X. Kendi; as well as How to be an Anti-racist by Ibram X. Kendi. The crew has also done things such as sent letters to elected officials\, installed a Say Their Names memorial\, painted two utility boxes with antiracist messages\, initiated a county-wide Sojourner Truth Day\, and more. \n\n\n\nThe Kingston YMCA Summer Youth Crew wrote and created a video called Truth Talk.  Truth Talk focuses on what they learned about our history and how to be an anti-racist agent of change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGroundwork Hudson Valley creates sustainable environmental change in urban neighborhoods through community-based partnerships that promote equity\, youth leadership\, and economic opportunity. \n\n\n\nThe Green Team program hires local teenagers enrolled in the Yonkers Public School system for environmental jobs – for many\, their first real job. The program focuses on leadership\, group dynamics\, and a variety of conservation and construction skills. This hard work is tempered with amazing adventures\, like hiking\, camping\, and swimming. \n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/fxNvLj9u5Qw\n\n\n\n\nMORE ABOUT WATER JUSTICE LAB \n\n\n\nOrganized and hosted by Water Justice Lab\, a new project of Media Sanctuary’s NATURE (North Troy Art Technology and Urban Research in Ecology) Lab Environmental Education Center and Riverkeeper.
