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.
Illinois attempting to codify right to mask into law:

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

Overview An anti-mask bill was filed at the Texas state level by Representative Tom Oliverson, who is in Cypress, Texas. Cypress is within the Houston area. Contact Oliverson’s office via phone call, email, fax, or social media to communicate how strongly you oppose this proposal. The louder p...
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.
