The amount of bad news right now is really overwhelming, and we felt it was really important to have a place that people can go to hear about the positive things that are coming out of the current crisis, not puff pieces to take your mind off things (though there may be some of that too), but we really want to highlight the way that people are coming together in solidarity to make things better. This is a global pandemic, it’s never been more clear that we are all in this together. Our news cycle is currently dominated by Covid-19. It is difficult for anything other than pandemic news to gain traction.
