ABOUT THE MADE TO SAVE CAMPAIGN
The Made to Save campaign, launched in April 2021, is an education, outreach, and grassroots mobilization effort working to save lives by building public trust in the COVID-19 vaccines through trusted messengers who can engage in dialogue and share clear, consistent information with communities most impacted by the pandemic.
The effort is anchored in the power of grassroots organizing, centered in equity, rooted in evidence-based strategies to build trust, and informed by public health experts. We aim to depoliticize the COVID-19 response and deploy trusted messengers to engage in trust-building dialogue and empower local groups to lead.
Building trust in vaccines requires an intentional and careful approach. Made to Save serves as a centralized hub to coordinate and disseminate proven messages and effective strategies through a broad coalition of trusted partners. We also provide financial and outreach support to community-based organizations in areas hardest hit by the virus, which are overwhelmingly Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities where discrimination and systemic racism have created health inequities and bred disproportionate levels of medical distrust.
