Wow, not only have the MTA taken down the problematic "You Do You" anti-mask signs, they have now reinstated signs encouraging New Yorkers to mask up!
Thank you to high risk and disabled New Yorkers and groups like Mandate Masks NY and Brooklyn BCID for testifying at MTA meetings.

No one should have to risk getting COVID-19 in order to get to work, or to access essential services like healthcare or groceries.
Science shows that mask mandates help prevent COVID-19 transmission and keep indoor spaces safe and accessible to everyone.

Please sign this petition and call on Governor Kathy Hochul to reinstate the mask mandate on public transit in NY! By ending the mask mandate on public transit in New York and releasing signage that spreads misinformation about masks, Governor Hochul is undermining public health and equity, and putting millions of New Yorkers at risk. Millions of New Yorkers rely on public transportation, particularly the communities who have been the hardest hit by COVID-19, including poor people, people of color, and disabled and immunocompromised people. No one should have to risk getting COVID-19 in order to get to work, or to access essential services like healthcare or groceries. NY still has high COVID community transmission across the state. COVID rates are expected to rise further this fall and winter. Science shows that mask mandates help prevent COVID-19 transmission and keep indoor spaces safe and accessible to everyone. And polls show that the majority of New Yorkers support mask mandates. COVID-19 is not over. We urge Governor Hochul to reinstate the mask mandate on public transit.
TAKE ACTION: Please use this tool to send a letter to Gov Kathy Hochul and your NY State Legislators to urge them to reinstate the mask mandate in public transit: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/reinstate-the-mask-mandate-in-public-transit

Congratulations on the shift in messaging in NY on masking. The failure of the pretend normalization is becoming clearer and clearer. That direction doesn't work. Taking responsibility to make things better works.
