About Body Politic: Body Politic is a queer feminist group based in New York City, NY exploring the intersections of health and social justice. After 60% of Body Politic’s core team became sick with COVID-19, they created a global support group for people struggling with the virus. Since their launch, they’ve had over 16,000 people sign up to join the group, which is housed on the Slack platform to accommodate 24/7 chat and allow for small discussion channels based on community or topic. The Body Politic COVID-19 Support Group consists of people from all over the world who are experiencing symptoms or are recovering from COVID-19. Their patient-led research team released a report from their first survey which got the attention of the NIH director, Dr. Francis Collins, and is working on a second phase of research now. Body Politic's COVID-19 support group and COVID community resources were created to help people living with COVID-19 connect with one another, and make the conversation about our current health crisis more inclusive of those battling the virus.
