Latinx Outreach and COVID-19 Campaign

National and local data points to higher COVID-19 positivity rates for Latinx and African-American community members. TJHD is ramping up its COVID-19 mitigation messaging for Spanish speakers with the help of community navigators, health workers, organizers, and liaisons, as well as bilingual volunteers and students. We are currently
identifying recurring themes, with the aim of creating a relevant, trustworthy, dynamic campaign that can support COVID-19 outreach. If you work with Latinx community members in any capacity, we want your input!
