This #emptychair represents my dad, Jose Roberto of Anaheim, CA, the 700,000+ COVID-19 deaths, and Long Covid survivors. This could have been prevented. Please consider Covid survivors & our long haulers when planning for our budgets @CAgovernor @MayorHarrySidhu

@DrMarjorieRobe1 ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FUNNY!!

[Monica L Alvarez @_monicalalvarez]

It will be my honor to march tomorrow to raise awareness and spread the word that we do not want anything like this to happen again. (2/2)

[Monica L Alvarez @_monicalalvarez]

Choosing to #addyellow today to support my fellow COVID-19 survivors, countless people that are still suffering from the long term effects, to acknowledge all of the inexcusable losses we’ve had over the last 2 1/2 years, and especially for my dad, who we lost 7/20/20. 💛💙 (1/2)

This week, I’m teaming up with @survivorschange to encourage Americans to #Remember1Million lives lost to #COVID19. I honor Jose Roberto Alvarez-Mena during #COVIDWORA. Our lives will never be the same, and I urge Congress to act. Join me and learn more at https://t.co/KZcWVjh7o2

I will always support my Latina sisters. It’s time for a change. #EqualPay #LatinaEqualPayDay #Trabajadoras

[COVID Survivors for Change @SurvivorsChange]

Low wages force many Latinas to make impossible choices between putting food on the table or paying for life-saving healthcare. Latinas need #EqualPay. #LatinaEqualPay #Trabajadoras

It was amazing to take part in this. I will always do what I can to honor loved ones lost to Covid, including my dad Jose Roberto.

October 1-7 was our Week of Action. We sent 300+ letters to elected officials and placed an empty chair in every state. Thank you for honoring those who have died of COVID and long haulers. Together, we sent a powerful message: Support, Remember, and Prevent!

[Chris Gallagher @ChrisGallagher4]

From the weekend - the display of more than 700,000 white flags across the National Mall to symbolize lives lost in the U.S. to COVID-19. @inamericaflags @sbfirstenberg

1 year ago, the National COVID-19 Remembrance was held in Washington D.C. Today, we are proud to say we placed an empty chair or sent a letter to decision makers calling for action in all 50 states. COVID Survivors and Long Haulers are everywhere. #COVIDWeekofAction #EmptyChair

[Amanda W Jenkins @AmandaWJenkins]

Here is the #emptychair I set up with @SurvivorsChange outside Flathead County Courthouse dedicated to 2,017 Montanans who've died of COVID since the pandemic began. Calling on @GovGianforte @MarkBlasdel @SuptArntzen for common sense. Let's end the pandemic & support survivors.

[heavenly20 @heavenly205]

This chair is dedicated to the
25,371 Georgians who have
lost their lives to COVID-19.
And those who continue to live with the effects of Long COVID. Your decisions @GovKemp #emptychair #covidweekofaction #gapol

[hillary @chef_hilly]

This empty chair is dedicated to all the loved ones lost due to Covid. 70,000 Californians. 719,000 Americans.

Shout out to @nmparra44 for capturing this #emptychair in dedication to Lloyd C Porter.

I marched today for my dad, who we tragically lost to #covid19, for the millions of other lives lost, and for the countless long haulers. 💛💙💛💙

@MsLisaHendricks @SurvivorsChange My dad, Jose Roberto Alvarez-Mena 💛💛

[Monica L Alvarez @_monicalalvarez]

My family and I went a step above and instead of #addyellow, they went a step above and wore yellow.
Honoring the 600,000+ #covid19 victims and #longhaulers, including my dad whose fave color was yellow 💛💛@SurvivorsChange @FacesOfCOVID @Covid19Long

[Dionne Warwick @dionnewarwick]

💛 #AddYellow in memory of the more than 600,000 families who lost family and friends to Covid. Showing solidarity of our continued caring is an absolute outstanding way of showing our Unity! Be blessed and stay safe.

[Monica L Alvarez @_monicalalvarez]

Please consider supporting me to #AddYellow tomorrow to honor those of us who have lost a loved one and/or are still suffering long hauler #covid19 effects 💛

[COVID Survivors for Change @SurvivorsChange]

This July 4th, we remember the full toll the pandemic took on the U.S. and will #AddYellow to our red white & blue to honor those who are gone, but not forgotten, and those whose lives changed forever by #COVID. Read more: https://t.co/UpOq9Sbo2T

Today marks one year since the last time I saw my dad, as I was sick and weak with my own Covid infection. He went to the hospital on 7/4/20, and I never saw or spoke to him again. I miss him every day. He’s why I will #AddYellow tomorrow. @SurvivorsChange

[Monica L Alvarez @_monicalalvarez]

.@SurvivorsChange has given myself and many others a platform for grieving and healing. Thank you for giving me that space, because I don’t feel so alone and am healing as best as I can 💛💛

[COVID Survivors for Change @SurvivorsChange]

Monica was devastated when #Covid19 took her father's life. Through her grief, she relied on the support of fellow survivors and @SurvivorsChange community. Please make a gift to help sustain the survivor community and hold elected officials accountable. https://t.co/LxUCKBORy6
