Happy National Minority Health Month! This year’s theme is “Give Your Community a Boost.” This year’s theme focuses on the continued importance of COVID-19 vaccination, including boosters, as one of the strongest tools we have to end the COVID-19 pandemic that has disproportionately affected communities of color. This month we will highlight some of our CBO partners and showcase their commitment and efforts to keep our communities safe and healthy.
APPEAL - Asian Pacific Partners for Empowerment, Advocacy and Leadership is a national organization working towards social justice and a tobacco-free Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (AA and NHPI) community.
APPEAL successfully held a check-in wellness event called “United in Hope: Community Conversations Around COVID.” This event was a safe and creative space for young adults in the AA and NHPI community to come together and share stories about their experiences during the pandemic. During one of their events, Kiran Vedula from Milwaukee produced a music video titled “My Shot”.
In addition to these open dialogues/ wellness check-in spaces, APPEAL is also developing a leadership program called United in Hope that is designed to amplify skills and provide resources to YA adult fellows who are interested in increasing vaccine uptake in their communities.
Thank you, APPEAL, for creating a space for our communities to connect and inspire one another.
We’re joining the HHS Office of Minority Health and debunking misinformation and encouraging our communities to get fully vaccinated this April during National Minority Health Month. #BoostYourCommunity with facts on vaccines and boosters.
