Families and Mayoral Candidates Mark Grim Anniversary of Cuomo’s Nursing Home Order
On the fifth anniversary of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s controversial nursing home directive, grieving families and 2025 mayoral hopefuls gathered in Brooklyn to remember loved ones lost to COVID-19 and condemn Cuomo’s pandemic leadership. The event, hosted by the We Care Memorial Wall team, featured a symbolic coffin, a hearse, and heartfelt speeches, including those from family members like Alexa Rivera and the Arbeeny brothers. Attendees decried Cuomo’s refusal to accept responsibility for the nursing home crisis, calling it a “failure of leadership” and a betrayal of trust. Despite attempts to move forward, the demand for truth and accountability remains louder than ever.
