New York is at risk of a mask ban. But we can stop it. This is EVERYONE's issue.

Reposted from Jews For Racial & Economic Justice

"We're appalled by the claim that banning masks is in service of Jewish safety...Mask bans—exemption or not—discriminate against anyone who cannot afford to get sick, and they advance a broader anti-democratic effort to criminalize protest.”

take action via @covidadvocacyny.bsky.social tool kit https://covidadvocacyny.org/stopmaskbanny
and if you're jewish you should join me in signing @jews4maskrights.bsky.social letter - https://www.jewsformaskrights.com/jews-for-mask-rights-open-letter

Even if you don't mask you have to understand how keeping others from masking is a dangerous especially in the trump era. People have a right to protect themselves from sickness. Health exemptions don't work. @jews4maskrights.bsky.social has a great explainer here

I wouldn't be surprised. There's a bit of an outbreak at a hospital campus, and I think the staff is now required to wear masks due to how bad it is. I know at least one staff member is wearing one because she has to take care of COVID patients

Claiming to ban masks on behalf of the Jews is itself antisemitism.
