Are there any mask blocs that don't rely on instagram and the like to give their updates? Bonus if they're on the fediverse.

I'd like to donate to one in the coming days but it's hard to see which ones are active when they only use instagram for their updates and never update their websites (instagram won't let me see what date things are posted without an account and I simply refuse).

@marz had energy to comb through maybe 20 mask blocs on this list: https://maskbloc.org/#local-blocs

we found one on fedi:

https://kolektiva.social/@AutoDefensaSanitaria

one with their own websites:
https://www.commonhumanitycollective.org/

there are more with bluesky accounts but assuming that carries the same issues as instagram

Hi, yes, we're here! We're not set up to take donations online at this point, but will certainly share if that changes. Tagging the other mask blocs on fedi (that we know of) here too 🙂

It would be great to have acknowledgement from other pandemic-concerned people of the antiBlackness that exists among mask blocs & how it's left Black people further oppressed & endangered by increased exposure to COVID without structural support.
