January 8, 2021
Annapolis, Maryland — January 8, 2021
In their first meeting of 2021, the Anne Arundel County Chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc.,
adopted its signature advocacy project titled, “We Care”.
Project “We Care” promotes community awareness on COVID-19 vaccines, with the goal of reducing vaccine hesitancy
within in the Black community. This is largely fueled by the documented history of racial bias and mistrust in the
healthcare community stemming from the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study, Henrietta Lacks (HELA), and numerous
research hospitals including Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Project Impacts
“We Care” is a multi-strategy campaign using culturally based messaging to provide insights needed to make informed decisions on being vaccinated for COVID-19. Persons with reservations regarding the vaccines will have the opportunity to obtain specific
questions that can be asked of medical providers, along with information that can be utilized to dispel myths or rumors about the
vaccines.
The Chapter’s Charter President, Honorable Christine Davenport, retired science teacher and active civic leader, viewed the
project “We Care” vaccine campaign materials and advised, “I had no intention of taking the vaccines and said so to three other
church members. After reading the materials and doing a little more research on my own, I have changed my mind. I called my
three church members back to let l them know what I had learned and that I will take the vaccines”.
