As part of the United Nations Secretary General’s global push to stop the spread of COVID-19 misinformation online, UNSG asks supporters and the global population to join the movement on 21 October 2020.
From thought leaders, businesses and policymakers, to activists, celebrities and influential voices across a range of sectors will act together, making a #PledgetoPause and inviting audiences and networks to do the same.
How to Get Involved?
To participate you have to post a ‘Moving Selfie’ on social media platforms.
All you have to do is look into the camera, pause quietly for approximately 5-10 seconds, you do not have to be frozen but represent the ‘pause’ by sitting fairly still but blinking, etc
Break the pause and then make your #PledgetoPause to the camera by reading or adapting a script such as:
“I’m taking the Pledge to Pause before I share information online. Because during the Covid-19 pandemic, the wrong information can be deadly. Please join me and stop the spread of misinformation online.”
The video can be shot anywhere, UNSG request you to include your own face, the pause, and the pledge in your own voice.
You can post your film on 21st October 2020 using the hashtag #PledgetoPause and by tagging the United Nations
All assets, including videos, graphics, stickers, GIFs, and examples for creating your own posts will be available for quick and easy download starting 12 October at www.takecarebeforeyoushare.org
