The U.S. will cross 200,000 COVID-19 dead tomorrow. A staggering loss by any measure

But it& #39;s made worse by the White House& #39;s incompetent response to the virus AND total unwillingness to memorialize these dead.

The #COVIDMemorialProject this week will do that for them.

1/5

It& #39;s simple:

Tomorrow afternoon, we& #39;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 [email protected] to RSVP.

We also need your https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💵" title="Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Banknote mit Dollar-Zeichen"> support. The total cost is $4k -- between Venmo and GoFundMe, we& #39;ve raised $2.5k so far.

Each https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇺🇸" title="Flagge der Vereinigten Staaten" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge der Vereinigten Staaten"> 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& #39;t exist*.
