happy pride! reminder: queer people— especially trans, nonbinary, and bisexual people— have a far higher chance of developing disabling symptoms from SARS2 infection. like our queer ancestors before us, true pride is in community care, including preventing viral infection.

ventilate, purify, mask 🏳️‍🌈

Tornadoes devastated many areas of St. Louis & we are mobilizing to provide DIY air filters to combat “Tornado Lung,” a serious respiratory threat. We are committing $2.5k and raising another $2.5k.

we’re a little late on posting this (auctions, distribution, and meetings will really scramble your sense of time!! 🤪) but some members of our bloc got together over the holidays for a covid safe(r) homemade cookie + candy swap! (1/2)

We're halfway there!

Thanks to our amazing communities we managed to raise over $1800 in one day! Let's keep it up! We need to raise $6,066 by Jaunary 16 to win the auction and get over 84,480 3M Auras for our communities! Any little bit helps us get these masks on your lovely faces! Donate @ bit.ly/3m_masks

84,480 3M Auras for $6,066??? At less than $0.14/mask??? For Chicago, Springfield, Urbana-Champaign, and St Louis??? Let’s make it happen!!! Donate @ bit.ly/3m_masks

If you get sick after holiday celebrations, mask up so you don't spread it to everyone around you 😷

Heads up on a mask sale: BeHealthy is selling a bunch of close-to-expiration kf94s for shipping only ($25 shipping per box of 100, netting to $0.25 per mask). Fun colors and styles included. Note: filtration material doesnt expire on masks, just the elastics do. So if it still seals, it still works!
December 5, 2024 at 2:43 AM
Hello community! We’ve noticed that Blox duckbill masks sometimes get holes around where the elastics attach, as they stretch and pull away from the seam. It doesn’t happen on every mask, but please check your masks to see if they have these holes. 1/2

It's a great time to be in solidarity with disabled people by wearing your masks 😷

We are bringing this profile back to life! Please note that any previously posted fundraisers on this account are finished. Thanks to our incredible community we have received masks from multiple government auctions, and recently raised funds for a number of kids' masks as well!
November 17, 2024 at 5:39 AM
Masks arrived in St Louis today! From here most will travel on to Minneapolis, Chicago, Champaign-Urbana, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, Cinncinnati, Kansas City, Nashville, Knoxville, and Tulsa!
April 26, 2024 at 1:54 AM
We are so close to our goal! Thank you to everyone who has donated and shared! This is to get over hundreds of thousands of masks to over 30 mask blocs around the U.S.

Updated fundraiser goal! More blocs and more transportation means more costs to cover, but also more communities receiving free masks! GFM: www.gofundme.com/f/bulk-kn95-...

Happy trans day of visibility! Trans people are disproportionately impacted by COVID, and are at higher risks for complications of COVID - including long COVID - than cis people. Show your solidarity for our trans selves and siblings today and every day by wearing your masks 😷

"It is painful beyond imagination that so many- even close loved ones- are perfectly happy to cosplay normal even if that normal involves vulnerable groups’ long-term exclusion from public spaces. It is grief on top of injustice on top of dangerous physical harm."

We are fundraising with other blocs to purchase 288,000 3M 9501+ KN95 masks from a government auction!

Our goal is $9,000 for the bid price, fees, and shipping from Virginia to mask blocs across the country. That puts the price at about 3 cents per mask!

Monday March 4 was Covid Memorial Day. We can think of no better way to honor the dead and fight for the living than to make high quality respirators accessible to all people free of charge.

The auction got more popular than we expected, but we did end up purchasing 77,440 3M Aura respirator masks! And we are funded to get them from the auction back to StL. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed! This is a huge win for us (and a few other mask blocs we're sharing with)!
We're fundraising to purchage a huge number of N95s from a government auction! Our goal is $3,000 to go to the purchase, transportation, and storage of masks.

The masks will also be shared with other mask blocs.
