Dear Virginia COVID-19 Community Ambassador,Â
Over the last 2 years research has shown the continuous benefits of vaccines, boosting, + testing during the pandemic. Although the facts are readily available, hesitation continues due to the spread of misinformation leading to unproductive conversations online + in-person. Not to mention a major reason for division within our communities. In this mission, we want to get back to the core message while building bridges between those misinformed + the facts with true compassion + understanding – in hopes to meet in the middle. Mission 18 will equip you to have an engaging conversation, fight misinformation, + provide you with tools to better impact your community.
