COVID Memorial Day Virtual Vigil: Mon, March 2 · 5pm PT We built this day. Our grief connects us. With @kdurquiza.bsky.social, @c19lap.bsky.social's @kbishof.bsky.social & Kelly Oaks. RSVP: markedbycovid.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

We're building the only comprehensive record of everyone this country lost to Covid for the National COVID Memorial. Submit a remembrance with their name, photo, and story. Because they are more than a number. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Six years after Covid began devastating families. More than 1.2 million lives lost in the U.S. Still no federal day of remembrance. On March 2, we gather. Join our 5th annual #CovidMemorialDay Virtual Vigil. It's free and all are welcome. Register: markedbycovid.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

It was awful. I remember sitting in the state EOC when they were predicting 100,000 deaths by the summer and thinking how horrendous that would be... now that's just a drop in the bucket! And no national memorial to speak of... @markedbycovid.bsky.social is doing such important work.

What the wall means to people... ❤️

Love this picture of the memorial wall taken from Westminster Bridge. ❤️ #Wednesday

As the co-founder of @markedbycovid.bsky.social, I've dedicated my work to establishing a National Covid Memorial and preserving the truth of what's happening during this ongoing public health crisis that took my father and continues to claim American lives.

#WallsOnWednesday ❤️

Victory! Long Covid Awareness Day declared as March 15 in California due to #LongCovid patients and advocates with grassroots groups @markedbycovid.bsky.social and Covid-19 Long Haulers Advocacy Project bringing their stories to lawmakers in #California.

A personal note from @kdurquiza.bsky.social, our Executive Director. As this month comes to a close, I'm reflecting on what March means for our community of grievers. 1/6

Today we had the sad task of updating the number of covid dead. ❤️

'5 years on, true counts of COVID-19 deaths remain elusive − and research is hobbled by lack of data.' 📝 @dylantdoyle.bsky.social @colorado.edu 5 years on, are global mortality tracking systems suitably equipped, and prepared, to meet similar public health crises? theconversation.com/5-years-on-t...

‘For many mourners, March brings a flood of memories of how the pandemic upended their lives.’ This is when my loved one got sick. This is when my loved one went on the ventilator. This is when my loved one passed away. All those dates are forever written in their minds.’ www.bu.edu/sph/news/art...

The highlight of my week - colleagues recognizing the essential role that remembrance plays in stopping Covid denial. Thanks for the reflections, PAN, and including the work of @markedbycovid.bsky.social in your newsletter.

💙 Thank you for all you and @markedbycovid.bsky.social do to ensure that remembrance spurs action. We must never forget all who have been lost, nor the lessons of the COVID pandemic.

Long Covid is real and demands our attention. We need treatments, research, and a cure. That's why I spent the last two months making sure this resolution passed.

I love to see it! An official Long Covid Awareness Day brings recognition, support, and hopefully resources to address the burden of Long Covid here in California and all over the world. It also highlights our absolute imperative to prevent/reduce further suffering. Amazing work! ✊🏽❤️🙏🏽

Wonderful news from @markedbycovid.bsky.social!

Wise words from ally @outgrained.bsky.social

Never stopped masking for many of the reasons named in this piece. My determination was reinforced by @markedbycovid.bsky.social's COVID Memorial Day Vigil tonight: listening to the bereaved reading the names of lost loved ones, from 2020 to very recent. Masks are the least we owe each other.

We read 675 names at our Covid Memorial Day Vigil. Behind each name: a life, a story, a family forever changed. Your tax-deductible donation to the #NationalCovidMemorial ensures they're remembered. Donate now to help collect and preserve these stories: actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Your loved one's name deserves to be preserved in history. The National Covid Memorial ensures they'll be remembered for generations to come, not just as a statistic. Your donation today secures their place in this lasting tribute. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/... #RememberEveryOne

Behind every Covid statistic is a name, a face, a story. Our RememberEveryOne campaign is building the National Covid Memorial to honor all 1.2+ million people lost in the U.S.—not as numbers, but as people. Help us make history: Watch, share, and donate. actionnetwork.org/fundraising/...

Help us honor every person lost to #COVID-19. Your donation to the National Covid Memorial ensures their names, photos and stories live on. Support our work to remember more than 1.2 million people we've lost in the U.S.: Link In Bio or secure.actblue.com/donate/natio...

National Covid Memorials should not be just about remembrance, they should be about 'justice, healing, and education'. 💯 @kdurquiza.bsky.social @markedbycovid.bsky.social www.bu.edu/sph/ Boston University School of Public Health www.bu.edu/sph/news/art...

NEW: The 1st years of the COVID-19 pandemic are behind us, but an early reckoning is making it clear that we failed to learn from the past and have yet to come to terms with the loss of life and society-wide trauma. @markedbycovid.bsky.social #Podcast #SanFrancisco

Part of refusing to forget about COVID is the need to grieve and honor the tens of millions of people lost to our inaction on this pandemic: thousands each week still. @markedbycovid.bsky.social is doing this important work with their National COVID Memorial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0_6...

💡 NEW: Watch how @kdurquiza and Marked By Covid are fighting for health equity. From advocating for masking to championing public health, we're protecting vulnerable communities. 🎥 Watch the 2-min video now. #HealthEquity #CovidJustice www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi0F...

Second this: www.markedbycovid.com isn’t up to ACT-UP’s levels of direct action, but it’s early days. They’ve started by demanding a www.covidmemorialday.org to facilitate the collective grieving that builds power & momentum. I was very moved by their online vigil last March, hope they do it again.
