When you wear a mask, you tell disabled and vulnerable people that their lives matter. That you don’t see them as expendable You tell your others that you value community care You tell the government that you know Covid isn’t over & you want better from public health It’s a symbol of resistance

Shared via DM. #SecCookieMonster got an earful at Olympic National Park! Key takeaways: - how do you keep visitor centers open and pathetic public safe when you fire staff? - the emails to employees were abusive. - this is not a business; balance sheets don’t make sense. #Resist
