This broadcast, via the Congress website and social media, will include a wreath-laying at the Garden of Remembrance, an emotional poem about loss recited by front-line healthcare workers, and a message from Dr Mike Ryan of WHO.<\/p>\n<p>A key part of our actions is to have a coordinated social media campaign commencing next Sunday, 25<sup>th<\/sup> April. \u00a0Facebook Frames and Twibbons (overlays that can be used on social media profile pictures) are available at the following links:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profilepicframes\/?selected_overlay_id=459175808530630\">Facebook Frame<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twibbon.com\/Support\/workers-memorial-day-11\">Twitter Twibbon<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We are asking all unions and partner organisations (DETE, HSA, Ibec, CIF) to activate these overlays from Sunday 25<sup>th<\/sup> April on social media accounts (Twitter\/Facebook) and also to encourage members, companies and other organisations to adopt them. \u00a0It is very simple to activate these, and we are hoping to build some momentum so that there are a significant number of social media accounts using the images by and on April 28<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<p>The online event at noon on 28th April will include a pause for reflection and we encourage all workplaces to hold a Minute\u2019s Silence (including those working remotely) to remember those who have died or become ill.<\/p>\n<p>Workers\u2019 Memorial Day represents an opportunity to remember those we have lost, and to celebrate the contribution of those who continue to work to make us all safer. We ask all to support these efforts over the next few days, including using your own tweets and Facebook and other social media postings, using the hashtags<br \/>\n#IWMD21\u00a0 and<br \/>\n#workersmemorialday<\/p>\n<p>ICTU is organising an online ceremony which will include a contribution from Dr Mike Ryan of WHO, Executive Director of the World Health Organisation&#8217;s Health Emergencies Programme.
