YOU BETTER MASK SOMEBODY ALERT! Inner-City Community Health Advisory & Faith Response — 76104 and Beyond
YOU BETTER MASK SOMEBODY ALERT! Inner-City Community Health Advisory & Faith Response — 76104 and Beyond
FORT WORTH, TEXAS — Wednesday, January 21, 2026
Due to renewed concerns about COVID variants and increased respiratory illness, New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church of Fort Worth, in partnership with the Ministers Justice Coalition, is taking action to help protect the 76104 community and inner-city neighborhoods across Fort Worth.
“We believe everyone needs help, but especially the inner city, and faith calls us to respond with action,” says Pastor Kyev P. Tatum, Sr.
Inner-city communities are often hit the hardest because of limited access to healthcare, higher exposure risks, and fewer resources. This response is being led by the Skills City Resilience Responders, who continue to serve where the need is greatest.
Health officials continue to recommend wearing masks, using hand sanitizer often, and being cautious in crowded places, even when people do not feel sick.
