We now have a new mask bloc in Hamilton! Based in Western Community Centre.

We will need funds and volunteers to keep it going. For the former: chuffed.org/project/1535...

For the latter, feel free to DM us!
Box of masks on table in front of colorful wall. A large paper sign says Free masks. Please help yourself. Aotearoa Covid Action.

I've had heavy winds and computer issues to contend with today, but sharing this song in support of everyone in AoNZ in the mega-strike. I think we need 21st century protest songs. Happy to post a blue sky on Bluesky.

We support the right to strike. Wear a mask in the crowd to invest in your health 💪
The graphic has a raspberry red background with white text and a white outline image of an N95 mask. The text reads - Striking? Invest in your health by masking. There is a small violet framed white circle in the bottom right with Aotearoa Covid Action's logo inside.

The background is a photographic image of a half full tumbler of water. The text reads: Why investment in clean indoor air is vital preparation for the pandemics and climate emergencies to come. Clean air is a universal health protection, just like clean drinking water. Amanda Kvalsvig and Anna-Maria Arabia – theconversation.com. Photo by Manu Schwendener on Unsplash.

I went into a bookshop today and there was a sign on the door that said ‘masks are encouraged, please consider wearing one’. It was so refreshing to see a sign like this.

We are so humbled to have met our donation goal of $500 after only two days after launching our ACA Wellington Mask Bloc donation page. Its so heartening that people believe in this cause so much that they are still willing to donate in a recession. We have set a new goal of $1000.

if you saw us at any of our pride shows, odds are pretty good that you saw us play tegan and sara's the con live - it is SUCH a blast to play, so we decided to take a swing at it (mostly) acapella. (i guess just stripped down? whatever)
happy tuesday. love you. see you soon.

Wellington! Some of our Covid aware folks have set up a mask bloc.
This mask bloc can't run without the generosity of donors. Five dollars may mean that a checkout worker can take 5 masks that they can reuse for months.
