We’re co-sponsoring Fight for the Future’s campaign to tell lawmakers:
no mask bans, no exceptions.
With facial recognition technology on the rise and COVID and Long COVID still running rampant in our communities, banning masks would put us all in danger, especially the Disabled, BIPOC, and low-income communities already experiencing disproportionate harm.
Mask bans grant police and vigilante citizens sweeping powers to force people to unmask and be identified, denying disabled people and political protestors equal access to public safety and privacy by design. Weak and ineffectual health and religious exemptions are guaranteed to be arbitrarily enforced, leading to more police violence and harassment. We can’t let that happen.
