Who sustains life?/¿Quién sostiene la vida?

The working class has been facing the systemic crisis of capitalism before the outbreak of Covid-19 and it’s the working class, still, who continues to sustain life. Immigrants, informal and low-wage workers, women in New York…bear the burdens of care in a time when all of humanity needs to prioritize care over profit.

[ESPAÑOL] La clase trabajadora ha estado enfrentando la crisis sistémica del capitalismo desde antes del estallido de Covid-19 y es la clase trabajadora, la que continúa sosteniendo la vida. Los inmigrantes, lxs trabajadorxs informales y con salarios bajos, las mujeres las soportan la carga del cuidado en una época en la que toda la humanidad necesita priorizar el cuidado sobre las ganancias.
