ABHC has uploaded printable poster files to a public Google Drive that you can download, print, and hang up in the corners of our neighborhood that you know best. There are 8.5×11 versions for printing at home or in the office, and 12×18 if you’re feeling more ambitious and want to get it printed professionally. There are posters in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Cantonese. We can create posters in more languages if you or someone you know can provide us with a translation.

Let’s make sure every member of our community is well-informed so they can stay safe and protected if the worst happens.
