Highlights
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been swift and savage

Summary
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been swift and savage. So many of us have watched press briefings and news reports as realities unfold and fatality figures rise. COVID-19 offers opportunities to re-educate, to reflect on what is important, and what needs to change; how can we listen more closely and join in solidarity with others and act. BLM guiding principles and accompanying resources, for example, offer radical bases for re-imagining schools, science and technology education, building on principles of: 1) Restorative justice, 2) Empathy, 3) Loving Engagement, 4) Diversity, 5) Globalism, 6) Queer Affirming 7) Trans Affirming, 8) Collective Value, 9) Intergenerational, 10) Black Families, 11) Black Villages, 12) Unapologetically Black, 13) Black Women (BLM, 2020).
