Get Out the Vax
From June 4th to July 4th NCJW is asking advocates, Sections, and partners to commit to taking at least one action 

Pikuach nefesh — the saving of life — is the holiest commandment in Judaism. With the widespread availability of COVID-19 vaccines now available to most Americans, we each have the opportunity to save not only our own lives but the lives of others as well. 

Together, we can end the COVID-19 pandemic — but only if everyone pitches in. 

People still need information on where to get a vaccine, how to sign up, and how to get there. National Council of Jewish Women (NCJW) is proud to be a founding member of the Covid-19 Community Corps and eager to join the nationwide Made to Save Vaccine Month of Action. Our goal is to help our country reach 70% herd immunity by getting at least one vaccination shot by July 4, 2021. We mobilized more than 40,000 people to get registered to vote and make a voting plan. Let’s take the same skills and strategies we used to Get Out the Vote and apply it to Get Out The Vax. Thank you for joining us!

For specific actions you can take, see below.
