John,
This week, we’ve been collecting stories and data from Women’s Marchers about why they chose to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and the challenges they faced getting their family and friends vaccinated as well.
We want to thank the thousands of Women’s Marchers who shared their stories. Your feedback is critical in helping us understand the issues we face in combating COVID disinformation and equipping our communities with the information we need to get as many of us vaccinated.
In just a moment we’re going to share with you the stories and insights we found in our survey results. We hope that after reading you’ll consider donating $3 or anything you can to help power our Digital Defenders program so we can fight back against the COVID disinformation crisis perpetuated by right-wing extremists.
Women’s March is proud to be one of the only women-led organizations in existence that trains volunteers how to combat COVID disinformation online so we can make sure our families are vaccinated, healthy, and secure.
After reading through the responses from Women’s Marchers across the country, it is clear that we have work to do when it comes to protecting ourselves and loved ones as we enter the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here are just some examples of the thousands of personal stories Women’s Marchers shared with us in our COVID Vaccine Survey:
|
"A big influence for me is my older sister. My sister has been a nurse for 5 years and has spent the last two years working in Covid units. She has seen and gone through so much and watching her go through it all and hearing the stories of her patients have been heartbreaking and tragic." |
|
"I choose to believe in science and doctors and trust they will do what is right. I also have many people in my life who are at risk with Covid, and I lost a member of my family to Covid." |
|
"My best friend refuses to get vaccinated because she doesn’t think the government should tell her what to do. I have tried repeatedly to convince her but she insists she is healthy, has a good immune system, and will not get Covid." |
|
"I was able to convince my son to get vaccinated despite receiving disinformation that made him hesitant. I shared facts and research with him, and the mandate helped him hurry his process." |
Here are also some insights we found in our survey results:
Your stories help us understand what is important to you and to unvaccinated people across the country. We cannot fight what we do not understand and we need to be ready to have those tough conversations armed with facts and empathy.
It’s going to take all of us working together to combat disinformation in order to get through this crisis.
John, you can help make sure our communities have the knowledge they need to feel comfortable getting vaccinated by helping fund our grassroots organizing work. Even giving just $5 makes a huge difference to help our team reach more people through our Digital Defenders program and get our communities vaccinated.
Thank you,
Women’s March
