Hello there! Over the past week (and going way further back in our history), we have been seeing in the news the absolute tragedies that have been going on in the USA. As many of my residents are unable to participate in solidarity rallies due to the restrictions that we have on our home to prevent our residents from contracting COVID-19, our residents feel helpless when listening to the news. Has anyone done anything to help their residents feel like their voices can be heard and that they are a part of the blacklivesmatter movement?

We call our members and talked to them, it gave them a nice feeling, or you can also continue the classes or activities in social media for example by creating whats app group and join the participants there,

Instead you tell them about the news
