Take the pledge

BWOPA/ TILE - Black and Vaxxed Pledge

COVID-19 has devastated our community for too long. As Black women who bear many titles:  Mother, Auntie, Godmom and versions of Nana, we have many names and roles within our community. We are heads of household, caregivers, employers, partners, policymakers, leaders. We will not sit idly by and be silent about something that is causing such harm. We are compelled by love and science to keep our families safe…… and we ask for you to join us.

Please join Black Woman Organized for Political Action (BWOPA/TILE) and a growing number of committed and concerned leaders, advocates and allies supporting the Black Community’s journey to health during the pandemic as we pledge to reduce exposure, infection and the spread of COVID-19.

The Pledge

I commit to do everything in my power daily to reduce exposure, infection, and the spread of this virus by keeping myself, my family, and my community safe in the following ways:

  • Fever (100.4 or higher)
  • Chills or shivers
  • Muscle pains or aches (not due to exercise)
  • Cough (worse than usual if you have a daily cough)
  • Shortness of breath or trouble breathing
  • Headache (worse than usual if you have regular headaches)
  • Scratchy or painful sore throat
  • New loss of taste and smell
  • Nausea/vomiting/diarrhea/stomach cramps
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Sneezing, runny nose, or congestion (worse than usual if this is common for you)
  • Fatigue that is unusual or more severe than normal
  • Unusually red or painful red or painful eyes
  • Taking a COVID test even if I’m vaccinated and display these symptoms
