The Creative Coalition and The Creative Coalition’s National Blue Ribbon Task Force to Stem COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy released Cruz’s vaccine where he strongly urges everyone get their vaccine, directly stating “we’ve lost too many of our black and brown people”. Cruz’s PSA was released with a plethora of others, showcasing everyone from journalist Ann Curry to Golden Globe-nominated actor John Luguizamo, and SAG Award-winning actor Chandra Wilson. Actresses like Alyssa Milano will be featured in future PSA’s.
