Over the past three months, Atlanta creatives-led COVID-19 prevention campaign, “Big Facts, Small Acts,” has worked tirelessly to help spread the message, through targeted, grassroots multimedia efforts, that Atlanta’s Black and Brown communities are disproportionately affected by the coronavirus.
“Big Facts, Small Acts” is a grassroots, arts-based, multi-media campaign aimed at educating Atlanta’s vulnerable black and brown communities on the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, which is disproportionately impacting the physical and financial health of African-American and Latino communities.
In light of the city’s recent wave of civil protest, the group enlisted the help of notable Atlanta street artists to remind communities most affected racial injustice, including healthcare access and care disparities, that staying masked up and safe while protesting is also a way of protecting and fighting for their communities.
“The truth is we are fighting a two-front battle in the fight for equal rights and access for Atlanta’s Black and Latino citizens,” said Sherri Daye Scott, founder of “Big Facts, Small Acts.”
In addition to the murals, “Big Facts, Small Acts” is distributing masks throughout the city designed by local creative agency, Chemistry.
