Our friends in cities around the world are sharing a nightly cheer to honor and thank health care workers who are on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
WATCH: In Italy, Spain, Vancouver, and India – to name a few. It’s incredibly moving.
Let’s join them!
Our nurses, doctors, and first responders continue to risk their health and well-being every single day to make sure that the sickest among us get the care they need to stay alive. Other frontline heroes like grocery store employees, delivery drivers, chefs, and others make sure we have food on the table to eat. Let’s also cheer to boost the morale for all those who are struggling - a nightly reminder - that no one is alone.
So set your alarms on repeat for 7 pm.
Step outside on your balcony, front porch, or open a window and clap and cheer for our frontline heroes.
We begin the nightly ritual this FRIDAY! We’ll continue until COVID-19’s deadly impact is history.
Spread the word.
Please help spread the word. Include #PDXThanksYou to get the word out.
History will look back at this moment and see a community rise together and support each other in ways that hardly seemed imaginable even just a few weeks ago.
Stay strong, Portland. We’ll get through this together.
