To get through COVID-19 together, all of us need access to information and resources that allow us to be safe, healthy and strong. This crisis has been particularly challenging for people who already face barriers to health and well-being, including our family, friends and neighbors who don’t have access to life-saving information in the language they speak.
Today, Governor Brown and Oregon Health Authority launched the Safe + Strong campaign. Safe + Strong will support communities in Oregon through partnerships with community organizations and outreach.
The campaign includes a website with culturally relevant information in 12 languages and a community engagement and technical assistance effort to support community organizations in reaching and assisting Oregon residents across the state.
For more information, see Governor Kate Brown and OHA’s press release and visit safestrongoregon.org.
