Build a Memorial Wall for All Keyworkers that have died as a result of COVID-19

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

People should not have to die simply because they are doing their jobs, and in the instances that they do, we need to make sure we collectively acknowledge the loss and mark their sacrifices permanently in our lives! Let’s immortalise these people by building a memorial wall for them.

The Government has told us countless times how important key-workers are. Let’s now then treat them like the heroes they are by having a memorial for those who have sadly passed away. Let’s make their families know that we will forever remember their loved ones too, and thank them for helping people in these very difficult times.
