Clean Air Los Angeles

Lie Down for Long Covid

Sunday, March 15 at Grand Park in Los Angeles

March 15 will look different this year. For the first time, the City of Los Angeles is officially recognizing International Long Covid Awareness Day, and City Hall will light up teal that evening. Advocates and allies made that happen.

The lie-down is a simple act of visibility, offering a public image of the lives impacted by Long Covid.

Join the Long Covid community, friends, allies, and guests for an afternoon of connection, visibility, and solidarity.

Can’t come in person?

Join us on Instagram Live at 6:45 PM

We’ll watch together as City Hall lights up teal at sunset, around 7:00 PM
