Excellent public health messaging from New York City!!
Be the happy peace sign waving emoji instead of the sick and sniffling emoji.
How can you do that?
Wear a mask! Ideally a respirator like an N95.
It’ll help keep you and your community safe.

the idea of encouraging people to mask feels like an individual band-aid on a systemic problem—and guess what, it is. the key difference is that without using masks as a stop-gap while the systemic solutions are obtained, lots of people—maybe even you—become disabled & die.

If you work outside, wear a face mask of some form. Doesn't matter how dumb you might look, when your gear is getting covered in ash so are your lungs.

It looks like HHS has shut down the long-standing program for community orgs to request large amounts of free COVID rapid tests. Our local mask bloc received this auto reply today. Horrible and a sign of the new, worse times.

It’s is never too late to start wearing a mask again.
Cuts to public health, social services and escalating fascism mean it’s more important than ever to protect your own health and the health of your community.
It’s a simple, powerful and effective way to resist!

Do you love disease prevention & fighting surveillance? Mask bloc folks know where to buy quality N95s for 10¢ each bulk, which means your $100 buys 1,000 respirators. Not an exaggeration! A huge impact you can contribute to!! maskbloc.org 😷❤️

There is now absolutely zero structural federal protection against COVID in the USA. People will focus on how goofy the website is, the theatre of it all. People need to instead focus on how these resources can be maintained by the community and work to do that

One year ago, friends & comrades tried to preserve infection control in SF healthcare. For some, it was instructive that rather than come out and listen, department of public health officials locked the building doors. I will always be proud that unlike the state, we take care of us 😷❤️

If you are not currently a target, find ways to be a shield.
One way is to protect marginalized groups who’re at higher risk re the impacts of illness, disability, and the dismantling of public health and healthcare.
All you have to do is wear an n95 in public.

$100 to your local mask bloc might help them purchase up to 1k masks! truly one of the biggest impacts you can make rn

Many medical supplies are manufactured outside of the US. I would buy additional KN95, N95 and KF94 masks now, as well as any medical supplies you regularly rely on. Even basics like bandages, Aquaphor, medicated lotion and pimple patches. Order that stuff asap.
