From the Action Toolkit, here are ways you can help spread the word…
1. Use the hashtags
#NoBodyIsDisposable
#VaccineEquity
#HighRisk
2. And Tweet or Post
Sample messages:
- President Biden, every day there are new vaccine plans that fail to get vaccines in the arms of high-risk people of all ages, especially in communities of color. When will this change?? #VaccineEquity #HighRisk #NoBodyIsDisposable
- I am (disabled/fat/higher weight/a person with X condition) and I need to be included in COVID vaccine plans! #VaccineEquity #HighRisk #NoBodyIsDisposable
- Ohio has already vaccinated 1000s of people with disabilities that put them at high risk for COVID-19. Why is this not happening everywhere? #VaccineEquity #HighRisk #NoBodyIsDisposable
- 90% of people age 70+ who’ve been vaccinated are white, while the majority of deaths and cases are people of color. Age-only prioritization is racist and deadly! #VaccineEquity #HighRisk #NoBodyIsDisposable
- Disabled Californians are not getting necessary healthcare because we’re at high risk for COVID-19. Does [legislator] care? #VaccineEquity #HighRisk #NoBodyIsDisposable

3. Make a message for a Zoom “virtual background” or social media!
- I am (disabled/fat/higher weight/a person with X condition) and I need to be included!
- I am #HighRisk for COVID and I count!
- Other states are vaccinating high-risk people of all ages. Why is (my state) behind?
- Governor Newsom! Equity includes age, race, disability, weight, and more!
