It's not easy getting through a global pandemic. Homeroom talks to three Chicagoans on how they are coping, staying afloat, and addressing mental health during this tough time. We’ll also explore the structural inequalities in the city and beyond that make coping easier (or harder) for certain communities, and how to make space for hope and joy while not losing sight of what’s being lost.

Please tune in on May 7th at 7pm on Hideout Online.
We have 3 guest speakers on our virtual panel led by Fred Sasaki and Keidra Chaney.
