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-...

Flyer with berry red background and an orange and white color scheme. Text at the top says ā€œMask Fundraiser. Joint mask bloc effort (30+ blocs). Bulk discount on high-quality KN95s at surplus sale.ā€ Teal green arrows point to text encircled for emphases, the text says ā€œnew goal: $18,000 to cover purchase and transit for ~360,000 masksā€

Underneath is an image of a large metal shipping container with 10 big visible cardboard boxes. Next to that is an illustration of a hand holding a white respirator with earloop straps that shows the text ā€œkn95 gb2626-2019.ā€

Near the bottom of the flyer theres a button that says "donate" with a computer cursor hovering over the button. Next to that, text reads ā€œdonate: tinyurl.com/bulk-kn95s Now involving over 30 cities! To be distributed for free to all of our communities.ā€ Asterisks mentioned at top of flyer are resolved here, with an asterisk next to text that says ā€œPortion of money also goes toward transport and associated costs.ā€

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 šŸ˜·

"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."

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!

Big, bold white text at the top says "goal: $9,000" on top of a turquoise-tinted photo of palettes of boxes that say "3M."
smaller text below it says "For 288,000 KN95s via govt auction by March 20th."
there's a white oval below it with black text saying "GoFund.me/6784bed4."
to the right is a white thermometer graphic labeled "$2k, $4k, $6k, $8k" with tick marks halfway between each, going up the shaft. the red core of the thermometer indicates about $300 raised so far.
there's a charcoal black box across the bottom of the image. Big bold white text at the bottom left says "mask bloc fundraiser." Smaller text above it lists "Mask Bloc STL, Mask Bloc NOVA, Covid Safe Champaign-Urbana, Mask Bloc DC, Mask Bloc NYC, Crip Futures Cincy, Fight Covid NOLA" with round bullets between each.

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)!
