In 2020, the Alameda County Public Health Department launched the "Mask On Alameda County!" campaign to encourage mask-wearing and unity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The campaign included commissioning four murals in highly impacted neighborhoods. Oakland artist Jonathan Brumfield completed this mural in September 2020. It highlights the importance of solidarity among diverse communities, referencing the health crisis, Latino/a cultural pride, and social justice movements.
Iconic symbols include "¡Sí se puede!" from the Cesar Chavez and the United Farmworkers' movement, the rainbow flag for LGBTQ+ support, and Black Lives Matter, continuing a long tradition of coming together to support one another in marginalized communities, combining art and activism.
