Yvonne from Doorways of NWFL, DJ Big Boy

Donna (Outreach Lead) invited: Robin Keyes, Yolanda Ceasar, Pamela Donar - Food, Principal Pilson

Chelsea Cogshell (Mapping Lead): Chelsea Cogshell

Also attended: FSU Prof of Social Justice Robert Cvornyek 

• J Dia’s Education Work Group has been focused on the videos.

• Donna Pilson’s Outreach Work Group is looking at mass distribution of food, such as at Doorways of NWFL can be used to include flyers with important information. Yvonne says Doorways of NWFL  speaks to 30-60 people a day who call in to have questions answered by phone. Would a phone script be helpful.

• Mapping Lead Chelsea Cogshell presented the current maps

• Tony Burdick’s Business Work Group will work with people to prepare them to apply for small business funds and to file unemployment claims

Yolanda Ceasar says young people are being told that masks and gloves are not protective. We discussed the accurate public health messaging that wearing a cotton mask that is not medical does not necessarily protect you from COVID infection, but it does reduce the community spread of the disease.

Suggestions:

• Reaching out to local ministers to push out messages when they do their Facebook Live

• Robert has “Amplifier” art images to communicate information differently that may help with information overload

• Pamela went out with mask on and she was the only one. Local businesses could help reinforce the public health policy.

• Mental health counselor working with isolated ...tic-toc challenges might work. Population that is in and out of DJJ. DJ Big Boy says he could work with this.

• The entitled generation has to be aproached in different ways. They are thinking 'Why do I have to stay at home when others are out?'

• Get the correct information to Principal Pilson and he will get it to youth that will make TikTok posts and tweets

• Donna Pilson: need a plan for mask distribution 

• Principal Pilson: The schools can be distribution points
