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!
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 š·
"It is painful beyond imagination that so many- even close loved ones- are perfectly happy to cosplay normal even if that normal involves vulnerable groupsā long-term exclusion from public spaces. It is grief on top of injustice on top of dangerous physical harm."
NPR tacitly endorses the removal of Long COVID sufferers from public life
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. To contribute, venmo Elizabeth-Schwartz-20 with "bulk masks" in the description.
