"Today San Francisco will join cities across the country to light up our buildings in honor of the hundreds of thousands who have sadly lost their lives to COVID-19," said Mayor Breed. "While we continue to work every day to keep people healthy and get the vaccine out to protect our residents and workers, it's important for us to pause as a country and reflect on all that has been lost in the last year. The months ahead will not be easy, but as a country under the leadership of President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice-President Elect Kamala Harris, we can and will move forward together."
"The inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris represents the beginning of a new national journey. However, in the midst of a pandemic – when so many Americans are grieving the loss of family, friends, and neighbors – it is important that we honor those who have died, reflect on what has been one of the more challenging periods in this nation's history, and renew our commitment to coming together to unite our country, end the pandemic, and rebuild our nation," said Pili Tobar, Communications Director, Presidential Inauguration Committee.
