| At a critical juncture in America’s history, we’ve continued to release new work encouraging every single person to vote for their lives. And as we face voter suppression, unrest, interference and the possibility of contested results, we must also face the baseline truth that accurate counting may take more time than usual this year. Check out our latest blog post, How to Navigate Potential Uncertainty About Election Results, for useful resources. |

| As many as 810,000 Americans are hospitalized with the flu each year. This year, people are juggling more responsibilities than ever—at a time when hospitals and healthcare workers continue to need space and resources for those impacted by COVID-19. That’s why we launched #NoTimeForFlu, which calls on Americans to get a flu shot to protect themselves and their families. To learn more about our efforts (and find out where you can get a flu shot!), visit GetMyFluShot.org. |

| Our New Research on Global Loneliness |
|
|
|
| With everything that’s going on in the world, you might wonder why we would focus on loneliness. Past research shows that people who have satisfying relationships will be happier, have fewer health problems, have better cognitive function, have less depression and live longer—while a lack of deeper relationships may manifest in mental health issues. At a time when millions are isolating to slow the spread of COVID-19, we have a unique opportunity to help people connect. To learn about our findings, read our president and CEO Lisa Sherman’s op-ed in Ad Age, and read our full report at www.AdCouncil.org/Loneliness. |
