Today, we’re teaming up with Made to Save, a new initiative working to save lives by increasing access to the COVID-19 vaccines in communities of color. Communities of color have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic but continue to have access and information barriers to COVID-19 vaccines.
The vaccines were made to save the moments we all miss most, but to end this pandemic, we’ve got to work together to ensure everyone has the information and access in the vaccines they need.
And we have our work cut out for us.
As of March 2021, every single state that is providing racial breakdowns of vaccination rates is reporting racial disparity.
That’s not an accident -- it’s the direct result of systemic inequities in our public health system, which has led to worse health outcomes for communities of color.
That’s why we’re partnering with Made to Save, which will empower community-based organizations to run grassroots outreach programs that increase access to the vaccines and trusted information.
Our coalition is growing every day, but it’s going to take everyone coming together to end this pandemic. Click here to learn more about Made to Save and how you can be part of this work.
