National Day of Mourning and Lament

Loading....

Ask your elected officials to observe a National Day of Mourning and Lament for those lost to COVID-19 on June 1, 2020.

With the 100,000th recorded death due to COVID-19 in the United States, our nation marks a somber milestone. All across the world, families and friends are mourning loved ones lost to this terrible disease. As people of faith, we cannot allow this grim number to go unnoticed.

We invite you to join us in an interfaith National Day of Mourning.

We are partnering with interfaith leaders calling for people to remember the dead and pray for healing during our respective religious services during the weekend of May 29, 30, and 31. And together we ask our elected officials to observe Monday, June 1 as a National Day of Mourning and Lament, a time marked by moments of silence, lowering of flags, interfaith vigils and prayers, ringing of bells, and civic memorials.

We just need few pieces of information to connect you with your representatives.

I'd like to receive updates from this organization

Subject: Please Observe National Day of Mourning, June 1

Message:

Coronavirus has killed more than 100,000 people in the United States and many thousands more around the world. As a person of faith, I cannot allow this grim number to go unnoticed.

Because this global crisis is deeply personal and communal at the same time, an unprecedented group of 100 national faith leaders — from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traditions, representing major denominations, national faith-based organizations, local congregations, and millions of people of faith across the country — are acting together. We have decided to mourn the dead and pray for healing in our respective worship services on May 29, 30, and 31.

I ask that you and elected officials at all levels observe Monday, June 1 as a National Day of Mourning and Lament, a time marked by moments of silence, lowering of flags, interfaith vigils and prayers, ringing of bells, and civic memorials.

This call is being supported by the U.S. Conference of Mayors who represent over 1,400 mayors across the country. Find out more at https://sojo.net/articles/lament-day-mourn.
