Gwinnett County, historically one of America’s fastest-growing counties and now one of the nation’s most diverse, launched the #ListenToGwinnettMoms public health education campaign in October 2020. Through this effort, Gwinnett County Government aims to inspire the local community to continue doing its part to slow the spread of COVID-19 by listening to the experts who have known best all along: their moms.

Featuring actual moms from across Gwinnett, the campaign highlights the simple, but proven ways residents can help keep each other safe through the “momisms” we are all familiar with. From hand washing to staying away from strangers, these tokens of motherly wisdom have never been more important than they are today as the Gwinnett community, like the rest of the world, continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.
