A new administration, a new opportunity to stop the spread

Today — Joe Biden becomes the 46th President of the United States. Like him, many new elected officials are starting their terms this month.

We also passed a grim milestone this week.

More than 400,000 lives lost.

Today, we are releasing the second set of #publichealthforpoliticians posters, to remind politicians (old and new) — that we cannot stop the spread of this virus on our own.

It’s a new dawn and we can do better.

Feel free to download the images below and spread on social media. Use the hashtag #publichealthforpoliticians. @ your local politician.

Image descriptions:

Each poster says “president biden, governors, mayors. Do your part to stop the spread” at the top. At the bottom it says “It’s on all of us (especially you) to stop the spread of covid-19!”.

The first poster features a doctor giving a patient a vaccine in a clinic. The text says “ENSURE EQUITABLE VACCINE DISTRIBUTION”

The second poster features a neighborhood of different colored houses. The text says “PROVIDE QUARANTINE HOUSING”

The third poster features a dove set on a backdrop of flowers. On the dove is written “free them all”. The text says “REDUCE PRISON POPULATIONS”

The fourth poster features a family (two moms and a baby) surrounded by flowers. Enveloping them is a ribbon that says “stop deportations & raids. families belong together.”. The text says “END DEPORTATIONS & RAIDS”

Blank templates:

Here you can download and edit the images to add a specific politician’s name. Feel free to use on social or for your own organizations. We use Helvetica Bold, 24 pt font, and #d45743 as the color of the title.

If you’re an organizer from a group or a campaign and you would like to collaborate and request custom posters — please email: abdullah_shihipar@brown.edu with the name and logo of your group and the name of the politician or policymaker. We will return a set of custom posters for you to use.
