Create your own COVID-19 Public Service Announcement

A Public Service Announcement, or PSA, is a message for the public with the goal to raise awareness, change attitudes and behavior around a social issue. 

Now it’s time to create your own to help our community fight COVID-19! Here’s how to do it!:

1. An idea  – When discussing COVID-19, what is something you believe more people should know and/ or be doing more of?  
   • Examples include: handwashing, social distancing, wearing face masks, washing face masks, etc.
2. Verify it’s true
   • Can you verify that your idea is based on fact? Can you find fact-based information about it on our list of credible resources here? 
   • Find a second resource and fact-check your idea! This is important!! 
3. A short message
   • Write a short, catchy message that conveys your idea.
4. Get participants
   • Ask family and friends to join you and assign them each a word in your message. 
5. Make signs
   • Ask your participants to print (here) or create their own signs so that everyone has a sign with one word to share.
   • Color them, make them eye catching!
6. Video call and record OR ask everyone to take a picture and create a collage
   • Get your participants to hop on your favorite video call app. 
   • Hold up your signs.
   • Hit record! 
7. Share your message! 
   • Share your PSA on your favorite social media (Facebook, TikToc, Instagram, Twitter, etc!)
