This article will describe to what extent the role of the Gusdurian community in carrying out social care actions during the pandemic. This research uses cultural theory. The writing method used is descriptive qualitative with literature studies related to culture, humanity, and other research about Gusdurian.

Peace Chrismast Campaign confirms Gusdurian commitment in the middle of resistance and attack toward churches in Indonesia. This is also a realization of Gusdurin's commitment in terms of toleration. In the middle of the Islam fundamentalism movement, the Gusdurian movement proclaims a world toleration day memorial. On November 16th, 2013, the Gusdurian network in Bogor and other cities held a sympathetic act and gave away stickers and flyers of Gus Dur's quotes about peace. This displayed the commitment of the movement toward toleration and peace. When almost all Islam groups resisted Syiah, Gusdurian facilitated Sampang Syiah refugees to ride old bicycles and go to President's palace. Gusdurian movement also presents several rejection cases on Sapta Darma follower's funerals in Brebes and other places in Central Java. And many more.
In terms of social concern, Gusdurian is undoubtedly committed.

Our society has endured many things such as colonialism, tsunami, earthquake, flood, slides, etc. When the government is still making social aid policy, society has already made moves to give away social aid. A collaborative work culture passed down from generation to generation still lives in lower-class society nowadays. They do not need any birocratic reason, the spirit to help others without ulterior motives through various media such as village institution, mosque, zakat agency, and online platform is guiding them to do social movement to help other in time of the pandemic. Aid from civilians to those who suffer due pandemics can give a solution when the stay-at-home policy is applied and has a risk of work termination.
Lifestyle is switched from face-to-face activity to stay-at-home activity. Gusdurian solidarity and bond make it easier to aid society because Gusdurian Network is already formed in many regions in Indonesia. #salingjagahadapicorona is a movement made by Gusdurian to give economic aid to those who suffer from the covid 19 pandemic. This group gives away aid such as masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and self-protection tools. Gusdurian distributed this aid to poor people such as labor, informal worker, and others. They work together with various parties to hold fundraising.
When the government dealt with limitations in providing medical tools and its infrastructure, civilians helped each other. Muhammadiyah religious leaders give 65 Muhammdiyah hospitals and Aisyiyah as the reference of covid 19 handling. Gusdurian Care has distributed 24.000 aid packages for more than 100.000 people all around Indonesia and 1.000 aid packages to Indonesian workers in Malaysia. Universities also hand in hand to help to handle covid 19. Civilians spread information and free consultation regarding covid 19 through online media. This shows that civilian movement with collaborative work culture can set aside religion and race sentiment and enable them to deal with pandemics and other crises. Gusdurian.net recorded that Indonesia is one of the highest social and civilian participation in the world. This has become a tremendous start in handling many kinds of problems in Indonesia.
Workshop and discussion switched from face to face into online. Gusdurian sees that creative activities can help the economy. One of the activities is creating an online entrepreneurship workshop. Gusdurian sees creative activity needed as a survival strategy in a time of the pandemic. Society needs to be educated about online business strategy, so they will not be stuck on conventional business forms. Discussion held with famous business people and motivators such as Yuswohady and many others.
At the same time, Gusdurian Network builds synergy to communicate and stay alert on potential terror acts to help set a conducive environment in time of the pandemic. Lots of hoaxes regarding pandemics could mislead into false information and tendency to blame the government. This pandemic was used by several parties to split up our nation and bring up disputes among people. People's trust toward the government has become a significant factor in handling the covid 19 pandemic. The spirit of toleration culture of Gusdurian become an essential factor that relevant to the condition. Various activities are held, such as discussion, literacy, and election of peace ambassadors to keep harmony among religious and social relationships. Gusdurian pluralism spirit has crossed race and religious border, issues that still become significant problems in Indonesia nowadays. Gusdurian presents to conserve Gus Dur's ideology in all situations.
