Interfaith Youth Core
One of the most pressing challenges of the vaccination process is the lack of trust for and access to the vaccine among certain subsets of the American population. While Black, Native American, and Latino/a/x communities are particularly ravaged by the pandemic, they are also less likely to trust the vaccine and have disproportionately lower vaccination rates due to a variety of factors, including the prevalence of historical wrongdoings. Chicago faith-based and faith-inspired organizations have considerable social capital to combat these issues on a regional level. IFYC proposes a partnership to equip leaders of these grassroots organizations with the information and skillset needed to serve as effective vaccine advocates and ambassadors.
