Welcome to episode 335 of COVIDCalls, a daily discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic with a diverse collection of disaster experts. My name is Kristin Urquiza, and I’m guest hosting for the day. I am the co-founder and co-executive director of Marked By COVID, which is a national, grassroots-powered, non-partisan nonprofit organization that promotes accountability, recognition, justice, and a pandemic-free future by elevating truth and science. It was founded just days after my first-generation Mexican-American father, Mark, passed away from the virus. I am coming to you live from San Francisco, California.
Today I will talk with Trevor Nelson and Tara Krebbs. Both are parents and activists in Arizona, the state I grew up in, and where my father passed away last June.
Trevor Nelson is a parent of 4 school aged children, former science teacher, and community organizer with Right2SafeSchoolsAZ.org.
Tara Krebbs is the COVID Justice Leader for the Marked By COVID Arizona chapter. She joined the group after losing her Dad, Charles Henry Krebbs of Phoenix, Ariz died of COVID-19 last summer. She is a parent of a high school senior, Scotty.
