PReP Dispatches

PReP working groups are posting short dispatches that unpack COVID-related problems everyday people are facing. The dispatches, only a few pages each, also propose solutions to those problems. They aim to reframe debates about the nature of the pandemic and what to do about it. The dispatches are open-access and available for reprinting under a Creative Commons license.
