Spanish News version of racism and xenophobia #OmicronVariant - we can’t be silent. Inequity and injustice brought us the new variants. Africa cannot be labelled continent of covid. Leaders SPEAK UP! Summon their ambassadors & send a strong message that these images are wrong!

But first
Think deeply.

These two actions
Yields both
Elevation and
Undoing.
