Panda Express walked back their employee mask ban in response to public outcry.
Starbucks is also attempting to prohibit their employees from masking unless they have a doctors note.
Get loud. Call, email & boycott. These ableist decisions are reversible, we just need to keep up the fight!

Mask bans already exist in certain States and counties.
Vance spearheaded a federal ban on mask mandates.
Organizing to codify the right to wear medical masks and respirators is (sadly) needed.
Masking is community care and resistance.

Texas becomes the latest State to propose a mask ban (while in the midst of a measles outbreak that’s currently over 100 cases).
These are ugly laws. They’re discriminatory & push disabled people further out of society. They increase the likelihood of police harassment. They paint maskers as “bad”.
There’s an excellent document with scripts for how to call & fight back! 🧵 1/2

Tuberculosis outbreaks in Kansas and North Carolina, measles outbreak in Texas and COVID is still everywhere. I’ve not seen a single media outlet mention wearing masks.
In fact masks are banned in North Carolina and Nassau County and more bans are currently on the table.
A good respirator protects from more than just Covid. The people deserve to know how to keep themselves safe.

For every executive order, bill or funding cut that targets marginalized people, let’s counter with an act of kindness.
Cut SNAP funding? Give to a community fridge
Cut PrEP funding? Give to AIDS organizations.
Mask bans? Wear a mask!
Attacks on trans rights? Amplify trans creators.
ICE Raids? Form a neighbourhood ICE watch.
Misogynist abusers appointed to cabinet roles? Give to victims shelters.
DEIA program cuts? Shop local and support marginalized businesses and creators.
We can do this. Counter evil with kindness & community care.

Disabled people have compromised and sacrificed so much over the last 4 years. Every day it feels like another tool is taken away, accessibility further reduced & our agency stripped back. We are constantly told that we don’t deserve to survive. That we are acceptable losses.
My article from May of 2024 on ableism, eugenics and mask bans is a good example of why disabled people need your support.
We’re asking for solidarity. Wear a mask. Stop consenting to repeat covid infections. Stop treating others as expendable.
When we abandon common sense and decency it makes it easier for fascism to thrive.

My latest article is about the shooting of CEO Brian Thompson and how NYC Mayor Adams seems poised to use it as an excuse to bring in a ban on masks (which he’s wanted to do for awhile).
Mask bans are discriminatory, ableist and put lives at risk.
We are still IN an airborne pandemic. Everyone - whether disabled or not - should have the legal right to protect themselves from infection.
People need masks for all kinds of reasons. Pollution, wildfire smoke, allergies AND Covid. No one should be forced to risk their health because a necessary medical device has been criminalized for absolutely no reason.
Make no mistake - these bans won’t stop crime. Studies have shown that sunglasses obscure identity more effectively.
The only reason to ban masks is to pander to those on the right still angry about mask mandates - and to make it easier for the government to surveil its citizens.
Ironically those who screamed the loudest about freedom and bodily autonomy during mask mandates are eerily quiet about mask bans - despite the fact that they represent escalating fascism and government overreach.
We really are on our own.
Please - mask up. Do it in solidarity with disabled people who NEED masks in order to safely access public spaces. Do it to support the Covid aware people who just want to avoid infection. Do it to send a message to the government that you don’t believe anyone is expendable. Do it to protect our right to mask in the future.
It’s not too late - but we must get loud, work fast and wear our masks.

I can’t believe this needs to be said - but masks don’t kill people. Guns do.
I find it extremely concerning that the media reports about Luigi Mangione say he had a gun, ammo and “box of masks” in his backpack. As though they’re the same.
Masks are a personal protective tool. They can’t harm anyone else.
The U.S. has a terrible problem with gun violence. Yet whenever a mass shooting occurs and someone suggests banning guns - they scream about their right to carry & “freedom” to protect themselves.
How far we’ve fallen that people are more concerned with banning masks than guns.
Masks bans won’t stop crimes. All they will do is fuel hateful anti-mask rhetoric and make public spaces even less safe for disabled and high risk individuals.
If the “freedom” to protect oneself is truly of paramount importance - the right to wear a mask needs to be preserved.
If you’ve stopped masking - please mask back up. We need you now more than ever. Send a loud and clear message that masking should not be considered a crime - and that you refuse to contribute to the spread of a dangerous virus.

I find it extremely concerning that the media reports about Luigi Mangione say he had a gun, ammo and “box of masks” in his backpack. As though they’re the same.
Masks are a personal protective tool. They can’t harm anyone else.
The U.S. has a terrible problem with gun violence. Yet whenever a mass shooting occurs and someone suggests banning guns - they scream about their right to carry & “freedom” to protect themselves.
How far we’ve fallen that people are more concerned with banning masks than guns.
Masks bans won’t stop crimes. All they will do is fuel hateful anti-mask rhetoric and make public spaces even less safe for disabled and high risk individuals.
If the “freedom” to protect oneself is truly of paramount importance - the right to wear a mask needs to be preserved.
If you’ve stopped masking - please mask back up. We need you now more than ever. Send a loud and clear message that masking should not be considered a crime - and that you refuse to contribute to the spread of a dangerous virus.

I can’t believe this needs to be said - but masks don’t kill people. Guns do.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams has again stated he supports a ban on masks
Disabled activists have been screaming about the dangers of mask bans since they were enacted in North Carolina.
We are still IN a pandemic. Masks are a public health tool that should never be banned.
Masks were made political due COVID restrictions - with people screaming that they’re a sign of government oppression, violation of bodily autonomy and those who still wear them are “sheep”.
Despite the hatred towards maskers - many of us still wear them & rely on them to keep us safe
A well fitted respirator provides excellent protection against Covid - and despite what mask ban proponents will tell you - doesn’t do much to obscure identity.
Studies have shown that wearing sunglasses hides your identity more effectively than a medical mask.
Short 🧵 of the history of mask bans and how we fight back /1
