May 2020
Day of Remembrance
________________________________



Tomorrow evening, Friday, May 15, at 7 p.m. MT, Gov. Jared Polis, individuals, and communities across Colorado will come together to honor and remember the more than 1,000 Coloradans that we have lost to COVID-19, and more than 300,000 who have lost their lives across the world.

It’s important to remember that those we have lost are more than just numbers on a page, or lines on a graph, or an obituary in the local newspaper. Every person we have lost to this horrible pandemic has a story and a community of loved ones in mourning. Because of the nature of this virus, most of those we have lost passed away without the comfort of having loved ones by their side, and many have not had proper in-person funerals, remembrances, or wakes. It’s on all of us to come together to support each other during these times of such agonizing grief.

To recognize the Day of Remembrance, the State Capitol, along with cities, counties and other organizations, will be turning their lights red at 7:00 p.m. to honor those who have fallen victim to this deadly virus. The state is encouraging buildings and businesses across the state to turn their lights red at 7:00 p.m. and for police and fire departments to turn their lights on at 7:00 p.m. for one minute.

A list of participating communities and organizations are at the bottom of this email.

Friday, May 15 is also Peace Officers Memorial Day, which the state will commemorate by lowering flags to half staff, and we encourage Coloradans across our state to commemorate those in the law enforcement community that we have lost as well.

While we can’t come together physically to remember those who have passed, we are encouraging Coloradans to put on a mask or face covering and observe a moment of silence at 7:00 p.m. so we can all reflect on why we are all being asked to sacrifice: to prevent more unnecessary deaths. We also encourage Coloradans to post on social media to raise awareness about the remembrance event and to send a message to those who are struggling that you are not alone, that we’re all in this together, and that we need to continue to stay home, keep our distance, wear masks, and practice proper hygiene to defeat this virus.
