We should find any articles about vaccine passports and contact the journalists and newspapers to let them know about this project and ask if they're interested in doing an article on it.

Talking points

• Focused on local communities (not meant to compete with international "vaccine passports")
• Completely free and open source
• No personal information is ever received or stored
• Can be copied and re-branded by any organization
• Easy and fast to start using, no software or apps required
• Run by volunteers at Code for America brigade meetup in Austin

Is there a prepared message for us to send to journalists?

@Knoxium unfortunately there's not, but if you want to write one and post it here, that would be great for others to reference!

@Knoxium looks great! Please feel free to email folks this letter, and please note down who you've contacted in the Press tab of https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DAHELeLuZ-Ro4RBrY3_q8cLcvuBmeoGrS-T3X8GL_s8/edit#gid=702050244 so that we don't double-contact.

Thanks!
