On September 22nd we will dedicate the Davis Covid Memorial, the first permanent memorial of its scale. I can not express how proud I am of the project and the contributions of our Artist Team:Jennifer Nachmanoff, Donna Lemongello, Brenda Cibrian, Gregory Shilling, Will Durkee, Ro Mottsmith, Stephen Souza, and the 300+ community members who built hand-made ceramic tiles during our open community build workshops, donated, or spent their time to make this reality. I encourage you to visit the project at the Davis Cemetery District, Davis,CA.
