Important COVID vaccination information
The Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus is moving through Florida like a hurricane. Protect yourself and get vaccinated, unless your physician advises against it given your unique medical history.
THIS IS A HIGHLY-TRANSMISSIBLE VIRUS: GET VACCINATED, WEAR A MASK, AND MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCE,
Wondering where to go to get vaccinated or to get tested? Dial “211” statewide in Florida.
Take these 3 quick actions now:
Renew your 2-year vote-by-mail ballot request online NOW by clicking here or by telephoning the Supervisor of Elections weekdays (except national holidays) during business hours at (305) 499-2444.
If you’re shopping there anyway instead of supporting your local businesses, direct 0.5% of your eligible Amazon.com to support the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund Inc by linking your account to Amazon Smile.
Encourage 2 new members to join, and choose a committee to join. We have work to do whether you have 1 hour to volunteer or 10 hours!
