Friends don't give friends COVID for Xmas. Even a Lynx gift set is a better alternative.

We deserve better.

Fight back against this boring and easily fixable dystopia.

Image depicts a series of steps of increasing height, drawn in chalk, with a suited stick figure on the highest and a smaller figure in a dress on the lowest step. A child's hand is visible holding the chalk stick. Dirty smoke obscures the lower steps and small figure. The LCLC logo is top right. In the bottom right corner, the link, tinyurl.com/lclforc.

Refuse to be a sacrifice to the economy.

You deserve better than that.
Rectangular image: Black stencil-text says: "Capitalism doesn't care if you drop down dead, so long as you're spending money and paying taxes until you do. Defy their agenda by valuing human life. Wear a mask. Refuse to be a sacrifice to the economy." The background is a faded-out image of corporate charts and industrial scenes.

Something you may want to print on cards/stickers you can give to healthcare workers/stick to consent forms.

We do not consent to being infected through others' negligence.
COVID-19 transmission can be prevented with the effective use of good quality, well-fitting masks. As my healthcare provider, you have a duty of care that requires you to prioritise patient safety. I do not consent to being infected and reserve the right to take legal action if infected in a healthcare setting.

Following requests for masked performances at Donmar Warehouse, the Long Covid Library for Change is donating masks.

6-10% of UK people, including 87,000 children, have Covid-damaged health. This winter could disable 1000s more.

Masking protects the arts.😷🎭

You're not really a leftist if you won't wear a mask to keep others safe. Sorry.

Maybe you've accepted getting COVID is inevitable, but have the people you're going to infect?

We don't consent to being given your sickness.

LcLc has produced a Long Covid "cheat sheet" that can be sent in advance or given to your healthcare professional to explain how you are affected by Long Covid. The document also asks that masks be worn at your consultation which can be a difficult subject to broach.
