Everyone needs to educate themselves about how Ebola is really transmitted in order understand their
risk, to protect themselves, and to avoid unfairly targeting their neighbors. Now, more than ever, we
need information, rational thinking and compassion say Judi Harris, Director of the Refugee
Resettlement Program at St. Vincent Catholic Charities. The staff and volunteers at STVCC would like to
work with community partners to eliminate the stigma related to African refugees in our community.
We encourage others to join us by:
Speaking out against negative behaviors, including negative social media statements about
groups of people, or exclusion of people who pose no risk from regular activities.
Being cautious about the images that are shared. Make sure they do not reinforce stereotypes.
Engage with stigmatized groups in person and through media channels including news media
and social media.
