About
Pledge To Distance is a campaign aimed at promoting social distancing through unique and personalized artwork. Read the pledge below and take it for yourself.
The Pledge:
It is no doubt that COVID-19 has changed our lives in an unprecedented fashion. Most of our normal day to day events have been canceled or altered and social distancing has become our new norm.
But what exactly is social distancing?
Social distancing is the act of physically separating oneself from others. This means avoiding going to public places, limiting physical contact only to those in the same household, and keeping a distance of at least 6 feet between others at all times. Social distancing is a new concept to many, but in this unusual time in our world, it is imperative that we adapt and follow these practices as a society.
By limiting or eliminating physical contact with others, we are doing our part as a community to stop the spread of COVID-19. We are taking measures to keep ourselves and others safe and little by little taking strain off of healthcare workers in swamped hospitals.
Furthermore, social distancing does not mean that contact between friends and family is lost. In this day and age, it is easier than ever to stay connected via social media and video conferencing.
As states start to reopen, mask-wearing in public places becomes imperative. It is not only an act of consideration for yourself and for others, but also a preventative measure. If you need to leave your house for any reason, please make sure you are wearing a mask.
By taking this pledge, you are agreeing to practice social distancing and wear a mask in any public area. The faster we all do our part to stop the spread, the faster we can return to a normal life.
In exchange for your pledge, one of our team members, including myself, will create your own customized artwork FREE OF CHARGE. (An example is shown below). The idea for this artwork is for the name of the person to cover the face in the shape of a mask, indicating they have Pledged to Distance. Please note that this is first come, first serve, and our team will create and send artwork to the best of our ability. Your artwork may be featured on our social media pages, and you are strongly encouraged to share it on your personal accounts.
Stay home. Stay Safe. Pledge To Distance.
