WHAT: Alameda residents are participating in the COVID-19 National Week of Remembrance.
WHERE: Formerly named Jackson Park (in the process of being renamed), 2430 Encinal Avenue.
WHEN: The first ribbon will be placed at 10am on Sunday, October 4. Everyone is welcome. Speakers will offer remarks honoring indigenous people and recognizing the disparate impact COVID-19 has had on Native, Black, Latinx, and other communities of color. Ribbons will continue to be placed by community members throughout the National Week of Remembrance, October 4-11, 2020.
HOW: Recreation & Parks Department staff will place a yellow and red ribbon around a tree located near the bandstand. Community members are encouraged to visit the park for the tree ceremony Sunday, October 4, at 10am, or at any other time during the week and tie their own ribbons to the tree to remember those we have lost from COVID-19. Always wear a mask over your nose and mouth whenever you leave home, stay 6 feet away from anyone who doesn’t live with you, and wash hands frequently. This is how we will prevent more deaths.
