#20SecondsOrMore
Hip Hop Public Health with Finn Partners
With minority communities in urban areas among the hardest hit by the pandemic, nonprofit Hip Hop for Public Health got creative conveying the importance of safety protocols with the #20SecondsOrMore campaign, the center of which is a star-studded rap music video touting the virtues of washing your hands. The video has more than two million views on YouTube and other social media platforms, and is a top pick on Spotify and Apple Music.
#SleepBedless
Depaul with Publicis•Poke
UK nonprofit Depaul is calling on the public to sleep without beds for a night as part of a fundraiser to cover costs associated with the coronavirus crisis, which has devastated the homeless youth the organization serves. In addition to forgoing a bed, the #SleepBedless challenge calls on participants to donate £5 to Depaul and nominate three friends to do the same. Money from the effort goes to helping homeless people aged 16-25 around the country.

#ReconnectWithStarbucks
