If youre protesting today PLEASE wear an n95/kn95 mask! It seriously helps protect you & people around you! It isnt good because of "surveillance", it is good because we want other people pushing progress to be alive, healthy, & active in their communities.
Long covid/post viral illness risks that.

(Please dont suggest use for obscuring faces, please read the whole thread)

And, please wear a mask to more than just protesting. By normalizing them outside of just protest you can help fight fascist crackdowns on masking in public that seriously risks public health for everyone who breathes air.

I dont use the "surveillance" talking point because I believe that too easily can be used, even by well meaning regular folks, against progressive and public health caring people, especially disabled people, as a reason to ban masks.

Masks are life saving medical devices, we all need to keep that as our focus first and foremost.

Stay safe out there, in all the ways you can, folks ❤️
