PARTICIPANTS NEEDED: COVID-19 Anyone Can Get It Video Outreach Blurb

Hello,

Baltimore City is currently seeking 60 second stories from residents about how COVID-19 affects them. We’re hoping you can participate or put us in touch with someone from your community who would be interested in participating.

Anyone can get it, anyone can give it video campaign

COVID-19 is not just a pandemic. It is personal. Behind the statistics are real human stories. Whether you are caring for a loved one who is affected, or you are the one who is dealing with the virus, the Baltimore City wants to hear your story to include in our "Anyone can get it, anyone can give it campaign."

  • Why your story? Your story can help someone see the gravity of this pandemic and perhaps change their behavior to reduce the spread. 
  • How can you tell your story? All participants will use their phones or computer camera to record their stories. We will provide video guidelines for you. Send the story to us along with a signed release for us to use your story. We will edit it, and use the story in our series of Public Service Announcements.
  • What's the submission deadline? We are collecting stories on a rolling basis. No pressure. You share your story, we edit and share with Baltimore.
  • Where will your story be po​sted? Stories will be shared on social media, coronavirus.baltimorecity.gov, and on Charm TV.
  • Whose stories are we looking for? We want to hear from people who have a local COVID story. A delivery person who is working tirelessly to get food to our households. Healthcare workers on the frontline of care. Families who have lost loved ones to the virus. Friends who have tested positive and are now in recovery. Students who have been affected and are now looking forward to reopenings. Restaurants, parents, morticians, immigrants, barbers, etc. 
  • Why do this? While a vaccine may be out of reach right now to stop this pandemic, our stories are potentially the closest to a vaccine. They can save lives and inspire people to heal. We want to hear your story. 

Thank you for your consideration,
