The U.S. will cross 200,000 COVID-19 dead tomorrow. A staggering loss by any measure
But it's made worse by the White House's incompetent response to the virus AND total unwillingness to memorialize these dead.
The #COVIDMemorialProject this week will do that for them.

It's simple:
Tomorrow afternoon, we'll install 20,000 flags on the National Mall -- on the grounds of the Washington Monument, facing the White House -- one flag for every ten dead. One flag for every ten moms, dads, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, friends and family.

20,000 flags is a lot. We have *fifty* times the 400 flags in this photo to install. So we need your help.
First -- if you are in DC, we need install volunteers *tomorrow* from 5:30p to 7:30p on the Mall. Email covidmemorialproject@gmail.com to RSVP.

We also need your
support. The total cost is $4k -- between Venmo and GoFundMe, we've raised $2.5k so far.
Each
is 20c so each $ "adopts" 5 flags. Please limit your donations to $20 so that more people are able to participate.

And more than anything, please spread the word. The White House is pretending that this staggering loss of life and ongoing tragedy *doesn't exist*.
