What was said
""I was part of like a coalition of all these different organizations that collectively had hundreds of millions of dollars in budget. Tens of millions earmarked for things that are at this point, according to the science, irresponsible to do.""
Stevens says that during the early Covid-19 period she worked with a coalition of organisations she describes as having combined budgets in the “hundreds of millions of dollars”. She claims large sums were tied to in-person activities she viewed as unsafe at the time, and says she was surprised colleagues preferred “email petitions” over using funds to support paid stay-at-home efforts or strikes.
