Just Recovery from COVID-19
We’re in the midst of an unprecedented crisis. We’re experiencing a pandemic and economic recession in the middle of a climate emergency.
How we respond to, recover from, and rebuild after this crisis will define the next chapter of human history. That’s why we are demanding a Just Recovery to Build Back Better.
What’s a Just Recovery?
These are the 6 principles that are essential to a Just Recovery:
- Put people’s health and wellbeing first, no exceptions.
- Strengthen the social safety net and provide relief directly to people.
- Prioritize the needs of workers and communities.
- Build resilience to prevent future crises.
- Build solidarity and equity across communities, generations, and borders.
- Uphold Indigenous rights and work in partnership with Indigenous peoples.

These principles should guide policy decisions as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. They will also lay the foundation to win a Green New Deal.
