Charlottesville Metropolitan Area Chapter
National Coalition of 100 Black Women
The National Coalition of 100 Black Women of the Charlottesville Metropolitan Area was approached by Myra Anderson about a pressing initiative to arm the marginalized communities with masks to protect themselves during these unprecedented times. We are helping to procure and distribute 5000 masks for the Charlottesville African American community.
African Americans are largely being impacted by COVID-19 and dying at alarming rates locally & nationally. The structural/systemic issues around healthcare disparities are complex, but on a very basic level, masks should be available to the communities hit the hardest, particularly when they find themselves having to venture out for work with a shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) nationwide. You can NOT wear (masks) what you do NOT have.
You can support by donating to help #MASKUP
*All donations collected through May 1, 2020 will be allocated for the #MASKUP efforts
*All Paypal donations to 100 Black Women of the Charlottesville Metropolitan Area made through May 1, 2020 will be given to the #MASKUP campaign, for any further questions, please contact our treasurer.
