JPDEC’s Facebook Live event at 7-8 p.m. this Thursday (July 16) will include infectious disease expert and epidemiologist Dr. Markalain Dery, medical director of infectious diseases and chief innovation officer for Access Health Louisiana. He will join State Rep. Mandie Landry (D-Dist. 91) and Jefferson Parish Teacher Federation Lead Organizer Lauren Francis as we discuss Safe Schools, Safe Voting – Taking the Pulse of Covid-19’s Impact. We’ll get into how to open schools safely, how to vote safely, how to make our feelings known to state officials, and what vital services will be at risk if Covid-19 persists into the fall and creates state budget issues. Viewers can ask questions of the panel, moderated by Andrew Lodriguss. To get notifications, please like our Facebook page, https://tinyurl.com/JPDECfacebook.
