You and your loved ones are at the forefront of the response to COVID-19.

“Take Back Control” is a resource to help you, your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers take back control by providing essential information on protective guidance, resources for the unemployed, ways to help your community, and many other topics.  If there is something that you need to know, or information that you think would help others, please let us know immediately by contacting us.

As part of its mission, Take Back Control is focused on:

• Providing localized information and resources on COVID-19 rates, prevention tactics, local hospital capacity and needs, food banks, stimulus-related resources, domestic violence, mental health hotlines and other important information.
• Developing and collecting qualitative and quantitative research about methods and messages to communicate with Americans nationally regarding COVID-19 and other issues.
• Laying the groundwork to counter disinformation propaganda on COVID-19 and other issues.
• Providing accurate information to American citizens on how to register-to-vote online, vote by mail, vote early and exercise their Constitutional rights during COVID-19.

The “Take Back Control” plan to fix our economy by stopping the virus includes advocacy to:

• Enforce social distancing and follow the CDC’s recommendations.
• Reduce economic harms by providing help to people who are out of work through no fault of their own.
• Adopt a uniform, national system for reporting COVID-19 cases.
• Improve public-private and intergovernmental coordination, in order to ensure delivery of testing supplies and personal protective equipment (PPE).
• Develop a comprehensive vaccine plan.
• Lay the groundwork for a pro-vaccination public communications campaign that includes medical organizations and grassroots groups.
• Use the Defense Production Act, as appropriate, to utilize existing resources to ensure adequate production and distribution of protective equipment, treatments and, once it is developed, a vaccine.

Together, we can save lives, share resources and advice, and take back control of our lives and communities.

Thank you for your interest in “Take Back Control.”

Take Back Control was started in April 2020 as a resource to help Americans take back control of their lives by providing essential information related to COVID-19.

Take Back Control is a 501c4 nonpartisan, non-profit project.

Despite everything — the health threat to loved ones, the recession and job losses, and the chaos and confusion that has slowed our country’s recovery from COVID-19 – we are all in this together.

Please be safe and healthy.

• Continue to social distance and follow CDC guidelines.
• Wear a mask.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• Clean surfaces frequently.
• Avoid sharing personal household items.

Finally, please share this resource, as appropriate, with anyone who might need an extra hand at this difficult time. Contact us here if you have questions or information that would help others.

Together, we can improve health and safety, share resources and advice, and take back control of our lives and communities.
