Voto Latino Foundation National Week of Action
June 6, 2021- June 12, 2021
#VaxToProtect
Voto Latino Foundation (VLF) is hosting a National Week of Action with our partners to educate and inform individuals on the importance of the COVID-19 vaccine. We know that the Latinx community and other communities of color are not being vaccinated at the same rate as white persons across the country, and that work is needed to educate folks on the vaccine’s safety and fight misinformation that is causing hesitation.
To fight the disproportionate impact COVID-19 has had in communities of color, we are joining together with organizations from the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI), Black and other marginalized spaces to mobilize our members to get vaccinated and encourage their families and friends to do the same.
On Our Partnership with Uber and GoGoGrandparent
Voto Latino Foundation is partnering with Uber and GoGoGrandparent to coordinate and provide a ride to vaccine appointments at no cost. This support is available in Florida starting May 17th and will roll out nationally shortly after. Interested individuals can call the free hotline at: (855) 497-2117.
