COVID Survivors for Change and Opportunity Wisconsin welcomed President Trump to Janesville with an outdoor memorial dedicated to the over 1,500 lives lost across Wisconsin to COVID-19.
The tribute, which consisted of 1,500 empty chairs, was erected to remember those killed by the virus, and also as a statement to President Trump and what the groups feel is a failure to lead during this health crisis.
Visitors were able to read stories from Wisconsinites personally impacted by COVID-19, in addition to a message that lined the perimeter of the memorial.
