Q. What are your experiences of 'getting organised,' and your thoughts or plans about 'getting out'?

I feel Covid Realities is very much part of this process for me, of feeling empowered and heard.

I believe social injustice is systemic and in particular, stigmas around having to claim benefits, regardless of circumstances, are many and mostly incredibly unfair. It polarises society and affects treatment of individuals and families across the board, therefore creating pockets in society where people are ripe for exploitation.

My feelings about this are driving my involvement in speaking out and educating those around me, and I’m proud of myself for achieving what I have and do, every day.
