Dear Angelenos,

Los Angeles is a city of belonging, and if there was ever a time in which this was clear, it was during the pandemic. COVID-19 showed us that communities across Los Angeles are united — in a city as vast as ours we still found ways to step up and support each other.

Now, to commemorate our collective experience, we’re launching a 3-day virtual event: Strength and Love, The City of Angels’ COVID-19 Memorial.

The memorial ([link removed]) will be held Thursday, November 18, 2021 through November 20, 2021 to:
* HONOR those who held our city together, including first responders, essential workers, small businesses owners, community organizations, caregivers, neighbors, and families.
* REMEMBER those we have lost to the pandemic.
* MOBILIZE to give back to our communities and work together to build a stronger and more resilient city.

This memorial will give us an opportunity to reflect on how we have been impacted, recognize the resiliency within our communities, and find ways to connect and mobilize for a better future. Learn more about the memorial at LAMayor.org/COVIDMemorial ([link removed]) .

COVID-19 has been the cause of so much hardship and loss, but I find comfort in knowing that our City of Angels is emerging from this crisis stronger and more united than ever.
