LCAP Action Consensus

We invite all people who align themselves with this agreement to participate in the Long Covid Action Project.

Long Covid Action Projects 2023 

In 2023, we will engage in campaigns to address the growing Long Covid demands facing the worldwide community.

Forms of Action

We say what we do and do what we say. Through action, we stand up against infrastructure that fuels the Long COVID crisis and the lack of support for complex chronic conditions. Our goal is to push forward the cause of Long COVID health and disability justice. We intend to put forth a variety of actions and initiatives, including and not limited to: Petitions, direct mailings, political lobbying, protest actions, online communications, and media creatives.

Through possibilities of obtaining information in the run-up to each action, each person will make a conscious decision about their role in the forms of action.

We will not let ourselves be stopped by structural obstacles; we will flow through and around institutional or academic barriers. We act thoughtfully and do not harm people. Our actions are not directed against people, but against health and disability injustice.

Our diverse forms of protest and action reflect our values of diversity, creativity and openness. We strive to break down barriers to allow all people to participate.

Capacities

We pay attention to one another. Everyone should decide for themselves how to take action. We make space for each others’ symptoms and help when a member needs to rest. We support each other, we process the experience together and bear repercussions collectively.

Cooperation with Related Long Covid Groups

We invite related groups to enrich our mission with their forms of action. Should groups express a wish for support, it is for LCAP and support structures to decide, based on their capacities and in close exchange with the groups, whether and how they can support them.

Self-Understanding

We come from different social movements and political spectra and see ourselves as part of the Long Covid health justice movement. We are in solidarity with all those who resist for a just society. We resist petty divisions and infighting in order to make the greatest positive collective impact. We focus on the work to be done.

In our actions we envision the world we want to see. We make our decisions in a grassroots democratic way and by consensus; we try to reduce hierarchies as much as possible.

No Room For Gaslighting & Discrimination

Our struggle for a health justice world is inclusive, diverse, and anti-oppressive.

We are committed to being aware of and taking action against everyday and structural discrimination among ourselves and by society. We will provide space and solidarity to the people and groups among us who are affected by discrimination.
