In the spring of 2020, the world stood still as the COVID-19 pandemic surged globally, impacting millions of lives. Among the countless experiences lost during this time, one particular rite of passage was stripped away from high school seniors: prom. For many, this was not just an event but a dream. Most girls in high school envisioned their prom night long before it arrived, only to be quarantined and forgotten as the pandemic reshaped our lives. We, the graduating class of 2020, were left behind.

Prom is more than just a dance; it's a celebration of years of hard work and memories created with classmates. It is an event that represents closure to high school life and the exciting leap into adulthood. Missing out on this significant milestone has left many of us without a sense of completion, and this gap in our memories is a void that continually reminds us of what should have been.

But it's not too late to make it right. We are calling upon educational institutions, local governments, and community leaders to come together and organize a prom event for the 2020 graduates. While COVID-19 policies prevented us from gathering then, now is the perfect opportunity to reclaim this lost moment.

We believe that with careful planning, adhering to any safety guidelines, and securing a venue, a "2020 Reunion Prom" can be an incredible success. It can be an opportunity to reconnect with friends, celebrate our perseverance during unprecedented times, and finally have the night we always dreamed of.

Our call to action is driven by the need for closure and celebration. Every 2020 graduate deserves a chance to experience their prom, to capture memories in photographs that they'll cherish forever. With your support, we can make this dream a reality.

Please add your name to this petition to show your support for a long overdue prom for the class of 2020. Make our voices heard and join us in giving this special night back to those who missed it.
