Action St Louis is the best place for monetary donations to go to the community right now. If you have a good source for kids masks, that is what the bloc is focusing on sourcing now

If you aren't in the area, please support the gofundmes of north side residents who lost their homes. And find the groups in your areas that do on the ground work, and get involved. Be prepared for when something happens in hour community too

If you're in the area, please follow accounts of people doing the work in communities like Action StL, For the Culture, Uhuru, Operation Any Means Necessary, and Black Men Build St Louis

We are working to get masks to anyone who needs them to protect against tornado lung (issues caused by the dirt and debris in the air post tornado) and the airborne diseases that will spread in crowded shelter situations.

Areas the tornado hit are some of the most actively disinvested in neighborhoods in the state, and unfortunately that pattern has continued in relief efforts. The north side needs resources, now.

Our members are OK. We are hard at work getting masks to people who lost homes or power, and volunteers helping with cleanup

We got about 10,000 of these!

we all wore high quality respirators, had air purifiers going, and communicated about any recent activity that might put us at higher risk. hanging out and building community is a very important part of our organizing! 🥰😷💗💗 (2/2)

Any money raised beyond what is needed to secure and distribute these masks will be shared among participating blocs! Based on our calculations, this will come out to $0.14 / mask or LESS!!

In the event that we are unable to purchase any masks, we'll refund all donations through the GFM platform.

We are fundraising $6,066 by 1/16 to purchase 84,480 3M auras from a government auction for Mask Blocs Chicago, St. Louis, Urbana-Champaign, and Springfield MO! Our goal is to raise $6,066 to purchase the masks and distribute them among our blocs.
