BLACK BROOKLYN TOWN HALL: COVID-19 VACCINE
Are you skeptical about the vaccine? You’re not alone.
We have good reasons to be cautious. Medical racism ain't new. But how can we decide as a community whether or not to take the vaccine?
Join Caribbean Equality Project, Brooklyn Movement Center, community partners, and a virtual panel of Central Brooklyn leaders who can give us the facts. Let's decide what's right for ourselves and our families.
The discussion will focus on vaccine access and addressing questions related to the health and safety of the Black community, LGBTQ+ people, Caribbean immigrants, and HIV-impacted people in New York City.
When: March 15, 2021 · 6:30-8:30PM
