The Unity Project - DO NOT JAB THE CHILDREN


https://unityprojectonline.com/




Background Numerous groups of engaged citizens have been spontaneously forming throughout California to defeat the Covid-19 vaccine mandate for all K-12 students, but most of these groups have remained fragmented and are failing to leverage the power of large numbers working together through statewide unity.

Purpose We are a group of concerned families, business leaders, and other professionals that recently joined together to launch The Unity Project to aid a unified movement against forced Covid-19 child vaccines, via unification efforts, resourcing, and the need to amplify the best strategies of the most effective groups already doing tremendous work in this space. We recognized the urgent need to unite statewide into a powerful force of concerned citizens that is well-resourced, well-coordinated with streamlined communication and propelled by strong execution across the state. Our humble intention is to also serve as a catalyst that significantly amplifies the best strategies being driven by the most experienced and effective groups in the space. The effort has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm, as everyone knows there’s tremendous power in large numbers acting together.

Values Unity & Teamwork. We have built a “broad tent” community that is neither interested in nor distracted by “Left – Right” partisan politics. Instead, we are committed to a framework where integrity, care for one another, and rational evidence-based common sense guide us. This powerful movement has already gained tremendous momentum involving citizens across both sides of the political aisle who share these core values and are deeply united on this particular issue. Diversity & Action. This statewide movement reflects remarkable diversity across the political, racial, socio-economic, and all other “spectrums,” forming a beautiful mosaic of thoughtful citizens who share one common goal: to protect our children and each family’s freedom to choose. Vaccine Neutral & Choice. Broad swaths of those in the movement have received the Covid-19 vaccine. However, we stand for parents’ freedom of choice in our kids’ health care, and we stand as a voice for the marginalized children in this particular story.

We Stand Against Forcing children as young as five-years-old to effectively become human shields, assuming vaccine-injury-risk despite having statistically zero risk of COVID-19 to those who are healthy, just so adults with comorbidities can feel safer — what kind of a society does that? At no time in history have we put children in harm’s way to protect adults. Stripping risk/benefit discretion from parents with a novel vaccine for children, which, if healthy, are at statistically greater risk of the seasonal flu than Covid-19. Illogical, unscientific, top-down, one-size-fits-all carte blanche mandates for healthy children that directly contradict the current body of evidence and data.
