The Washtenaw County Health Department apologizes to our community members for the difficulties many experienced at last Saturday’s KN95 mask distribution. We regret our mistakes led to the breakdowns in our service. We value our residents, and our mission is to serve you with respect and dignity. We are working to improve every aspect of distribution at this Saturday’s event. It is our goal to get available masks to those that need them.
Masks are intended for individual and household use. We are unable to accommodate requests from groups, organizations, or schools. Supplies are limited. This is a drive-thru or walk-up event.
Individuals who need masks can request one (1) adult and one (1) child pack per household. The adult packs contain five (5) KN95 masks. The child packs contain 10 multiple-layer masks. Our available supply of children’s packs is more limited than the adult ones.
Pre-Registered/Reserved - If you previously called or completed the online request, your pack(s) will be available anytime between 2:00 and 5:00 pm on Sat., Feb 6. There is no need to come early.
Not Registered - If you did not reserve already, do not worry. A limited supply of additional packs has been received since last week and masks are available while supplies last.
✅ What: Mask distribution for individuals
✅ How: Drive-thru or walk-up. Please do not line up before the event start time
✅ Who: Open to everyone. Intended for those who may not be able to purchase their own masks.
✅ When: Sat., Feb 6 from 2:00-5:00 pm (or while supplies last)
✅ Where: Washtenaw County Health Department, 555 Towner St., Ypsilanti. Enter on from Michigan Ave to Center Street. Distribution will take place in the parking lot.
We understand that there is tremendous need for these resources, and we are working hard to get available supplies to those who need them. Future community distributions are being planned through partner organizations and the Washtenaw County Office of Community and Economic Development (OCED).

Hello all -- this is a time when all of us as WeROC supporters can remember and feel some pride for the past -- and anticipation for the future -- of our brand of bottom-up power-building for a more just Washtenaw County.
WeROC leaders asked the three of us to serve as a Nominating Committee to put forward a slate of candidates for a "WeROC Provisional Leadership Team." We'll vote as a body at the January 7, 2021 Meeting of the Whole. The officers elected will serve for one year, or until we complete the formal process laid out in our Bylaws of establishing formal institutional memberships -- among local congregations, labor organizations, and community organizations -- and then creating a formal Board of Directors from delegates from these member institutions.
We are excited to put forward for the consideration of the WeROC body this slate of committed WeROC leaders who have agreed to be candidates as Officers of the WeROC Provisional Leadership Team. We believe that together, these leaders -- who regular participants in WeROC know from many meetings -- would represent the best of WeROC on many levels. The "floor" is open now until this Thursday December 24 for any other nominations.
Nominating Committee Proposed Slate for the WeROC Provisional Leadership Team (with affiliations for identification):
President: Cindy Bodewes, Church of the Good Shepherd
Vice President: Charlotte Tillerson, President, Ypsilanti Community Education Association
Secretary: Audrey Anderson, Community Church of God
Treasurer: Rita Turner-Sheerin, Voters not Politicians
Clergy Representative: Rev. Jeff Harrold, Pastor, New Beginnings Community Church of Washtenaw County

This is a joint statement from Rev. John Welch, Rev. David Bigsby, and Gamaliel Executive Director Ana Garcia-Ashley on the treasonous protests and unlawful breach of the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 20201.
Gamaliel Statement on the Treasonous Protests in Washington, D.C.
Chicago, IL –– The Gamaliel Network denounces the unlawful breach of the United States Capitol Building this afternoon.
We condemn the violent attempt to disrupt the democratic process and to discredit the results of the 2020 election. We call upon every member of Congress and President Donald Trump to acknowledge the results of the election and to demand that protestors leave the Capitol Building. We call upon leaders at all levels of government and on both sides of the aisle to call this action what it is: an act of domestic terrorism, and an attempted coup. We call upon all Americans to demand and support a peaceful transfer of power.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Washington, D.C and with all Americans in this dark moment. We mourn the violence inflicted upon our nation’s capital. We pray for a safe and peaceful end to this atrocity.
###
We encourage our affiliates and members to speak out against these acts of domestic terrorism and invite them to use our statement as needed.

New COVID-19 Testing Site to Provide Saliva Testing
LynxDx, 2|42 Community Center, and Washtenaw County Health Department expand easy, accessible drive-thru testing
YPSILANTI, Mich., Nov 18, 2020 – Washtenaw County Health Department is announcing plans with LynxDx and the 2|42 Community Center to offer a new drive-thru COVID-19 testing site in Ann Arbor opening on Wednesday, November 18. This new site will offer contactless saliva testing and will be open to all Michigan residents with or without insurance. COVID-19 continues to spread in Washtenaw County. Access to COVID-19 testing is an important tool in helping identify cases and prevent further community spread of COVID-19.
“This new testing site will benefit our entire community,” says Juan Marquez, MD, MPH, medical director at WCHD. “We’re grateful to partner with Lynx and the 2|42 Community Center in bringing more accessible, faster testing to our county. Additionally, we know there has been a lot of interest in saliva testing. We’re excited to bring this no-contact saliva testing option to our community members.”
Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms should immediately seek testing. If you were potentially exposed but do not have symptoms, the Health Department recommends self-quarantine and waiting at least 5 or more days before testing. If you are in quarantine and develop symptoms, testing is recommended. Symptoms may take up to 14 days after exposure to appear, and individuals are considered contagious two days before symptoms appear.
Anyone getting tested should stay away from others until they get their results. Anyone with symptoms should stay home unless they are getting medical care or testing and limit all contact with others in their household.
Testing Site Information:
This testing site will open on Wednesday, November 18. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, testing will be available from 8:00 am-1:00 pm. On Tuesday and Thursday, testing will be available from 3:00–7:00 pm. This site will be closed for Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 26 and Friday, November 27.
Testing will be hosted in the parking lot of 2|42 Community Center/Church (648 S. Wagner Road in Ann Arbor). Drive-thru only.
Tests will be contactless and saliva-based (no nasal swabs required). Results will be sent to your email or phone within 48 hours. We expect this site to be able to accommodate 150-200 tests per day.
Who Can Get Tested?
Testing is open to all Michigan residents. You do not need to have symptoms to get tested. You do not need a doctor’s note or order to get tested.
Pre-registration is required. Register for a test at lynxdx.health/register. You will need your driver’s license or state-issued ID card and insurance card.
Testing is available with or without insurance. Please bring identification when you arrive for testing. If you have health insurance, please bring your card. There should be no out-of-pocket fees for individuals needing testing. Many insurance providers have already waived copays for COVID-19 testing. If you do not have insurance, testing staff will ask for your social security number to verify that you do not have insurance.
Once you arrive on-site for testing, LynxDx will verify your identity and other information. They will then provide a self-testing kit to collect your saliva sample.
Additional COVID-19 Information and Resources
Data on local cases, guidance for employers, prevention information, additional testing options, and more are available at www.washtenaw.org/covid19. Health Department staff are also available to answer questions. Call 734-544-6700 or email l-wchdcontact@washtenaw.org.

Timeline PhotosThere will be Count Every Vote actions across the country this Saturday. Here in Michigan, there will be rallies Saturday afternoon in Traverse City, Lansing and Detroit. Check wemakemichigan.com/count-every-vote/ for information.
This year, MOSES Action ran our largest digital voter engagement program to date, protecting the vote at every step of the way. In the interest of safety during the pandemic, we adapted our traditional canvas program to reach voters remotely through phone banking, text messaging, social media and the OutVote app.
We helped Michigan residents connect their values to the voting process through voter education; guided them in making detailed plans for casting their ballots in this unprecedented COVID-era election; and supported them in carrying out their plans.
As anti-democratic protesters attempted to stop the ballot counting process, we quickly mobilized 15 leaders to the TCF Center (formerly Cobo Hall) in downtown Detroit to become certified as poll challengers. In this role, we were able to observe the counting process and everything that goes into verifying and counting ballots.
Most importantly, we helped to counter the efforts of those who were there in an attempt to disqualify thousands of valid ballots.
