Reminder: Wearing a mask is anti-fascist praxis.
Just is. Cause i said so.
But should you need the longer argument, @broadwaybabyto has got you covered:
"[#MaskBans] are another step in escalating fascism. Wild government overreach that represents a violation of our bodily autonomy & right to to protect our health. Everyone should be angry about that.
[...] -
The more people who are masking - the harder masks will be to ban. If we normalize them as a public health tool - we can stop unfairly profiling maskers as criminals - because it’s yet another stigma that puts us in danger. "

A look at how the shooting death of Brian Thompson is being used to re-ignite interest in banning masks in New York City - a move which would be a devastating blow to the disabled community.

What are you waiting for to show your solidarity with immunocompromised, chronically ill and disabled people in the most practical way, while also fighting fascism AND protecting your and your loved ones health????!!!
Frankly, i don't understand.

@antiaall3s thank you for sharing! I have this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. If people don’t oppose this - I can’t imagine there will be much of a fight on any bans going forward.
People can’t keep waiting - they need to put their masks back on. Sign the petition. Call their elected officials!
Don’t listen to a guy that said that masks obscure your eyes ffs.

@broadwaybabyto And (if we can agree on a diversity of tactics) i can even think of other methods to fight this.
What many forget, the medical exemption does not protect, per se, instead leads to a negotiation, that feels much more threatening for people with known immun-deficiencies, disabilities. Always the same people will get discriminated/ intimidated for wearing a mask, be it by the police or other authority figures. Mostly BIPOC and disabled folks, we already know that from stop&frisk
