       We're all in this
       together. We are One.

Hello Albuquerque,

As we head into Memorial Day weekend, most of us are looking for ways to go out and enjoy some fresh air. Many people would usually take this time to meet up with friends and family, but it is important that we continue the work we have done to slow the spread of coronavirus. That means staying home as much as you can.

We are fortunate to live in a beautiful city full of open spaces for us to enjoy, and we encourage people to use those open spaces as a safe place to get some much needed fresh air. We ask that when you are out in those spaces, you continue to practice social distancing and stick to your family unit. We also encourage people who have yards to utilize those so open spaces will be available for those who don’t.

This Memorial Day is different than years past. Usually, we would be gathering at the New Mexico Veterans Memorial right here in Albuquerque’s International District to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Even though we cannot come together this year, we will not forget the brave men and women who gave their lives for our freedom, along with their families who have given us so much.

Stay safe. Stay healthy.

Mayor Tim Keller
