Ideas for pandemic remembrance in US

The first week of March-- if possible, stay home, no or low purchasing, less car travel, a paid National Holiday, or Holi-week of rest for our part of the continent and all beings on it
A lockdown on our terms

Busts of people who perished during the pandemic gathered in their homelands, employ artists

Family, friends, neighbors can hold wake, touch the statue, bring flowers, picnic, mourn, grieve

Homemade paper with native flower seeds gifted to those who lost family members to Covid to write/draw thoughts, feelings, memories, share current life and leave on or around the bust

Tai chi or some type of collective movement (a concert?) in this memorial park

My mistake, it was discriminate killing

 The vehicles had a clearly visible WCK logo on their roofs so that the military would be aware the cars were full of aid workers. WCK said it was also in constant communication with Israeli military and civilian officials so that they were aware of the vehicles’ movements.

“It was a direct attack on clearly marked vehicles whose movements were known by the Israel Defense Forces,” Andrés wrote. “It was also the direct result of a policy that squeezed humanitarian aid to desperate levels.”



With WCK and some other aid groups suspending operations out of safety and Israel blocking entry into Gaza for the U.N. agency tasked with helping Palestinians, there is very little hope that remaining families in the enclave will have the resources to survive.

“I have been a stranger at Seder dinners. I have heard the ancient Passover stories about being a stranger in the land of Egypt, the commandment to remember ― with a feast before you ― that the children of Israel were once slaves,” Andrés wrote.

“It is not a sign of weakness to feed strangers; it is a sign of strength. The people of Israel need to remember, at this darkest hour, what strength truly looks like.”
