Have you taken the pledge? The Vine did! It’s easy. Support your city and do it right now.

The City of Irvine launched Irvine Cares, the first initiative of Mayor Farrah N. Khan’s newly assembled COVID-19 Task Force, to harness our community’s power to slow the spread of the pandemic. The campaign encourages each resident to do his or her part to keep COVID-19 infection rates down.

Through Irvine Cares, community members can pledge to protect one another by wearing a mask, washing their hands frequently, practicing social distancing, and staying home when sick. This is a commitment to practicing kindness and good judgment by being respectful of others, especially those who are at increased risk for severe illness. Pledge to be an advocate for your neighbors by promoting best practices in preventing COVID-19.

“Irvine residents and businesses recognize that protecting our community is a shared responsibility and have put many health guidelines into practice over the past nine months,” says Mayor Khan. “As we begin the new year this pledge encourages each of us to renew our commitment to caring for our neighbors, friends, family, and our community as a whole through our actions.” 

Irvinites can take the pledge online. All who have submitted the pledge will find their names on the “I Pledge” website. You can share the pledge on social media using #IrvineCares. All pledge takers will receive an Irvine Cares face mask, sticker, and decal to highlight individual commitment to being kind and protecting the Irvine community.
