We gather to remember the dead, to vow to protect the living.
Between 1200 and 1700 U.S. healthcare workers have died of COVID-19. Worldwide, 1 in 7 cases of COVID-19 is a healthcare worker.
We can do better. We must do better.
Vow to Protect the Living: healthcitizenpledge.org
We have collected as many names & photos as we can from the many different people who have been tracking the dead. The list is incomplete. It will be imperfect. We are imperfect. We will mispronounce some of these names, and we beg your forgiveness.
We have 1141 names and 945 photos. More names than we can read in this hour, though all the photos we have will be shown.
