this is why everyone needs to mask EVERYWHERE. not just at protests. using masks to protect yourselves at protests but not to protect disabled people is eugenicist behavior, and it’s going to get us killed - if not by COVID, by cops.

Please take a moment this week to think about how the U.S. puts Black people in cages 6 times the rate of South Africa in Apartheid. Each year in a cell takes 2 years off life expectancy. Think about how these horrors are normalized and justified by the news we consume.

during the last protest we distributed masks at, our organizers were described on the scanner and followed by police for “hang[ing] around the edges” and distributing masks. this attitude is IDENTICAL to cops’. nearly verbatim.

as people shelter from tornadoes and extreme storms in basements and other confined spaces and close quarters, airborne disease transmission is a huge concern. respirator access and usage is an environmental justice issue. COVID is an environmental justice issue.

“… they should own their advocacy and avoid wearing masks.” advocacy that does not include wearing masks is not advocacy anyone should want to own anyways. that’s eugenics. that’s bad opsec. that’s performative.

this is the letter our bitch ass attorney general sent to universities regarding pro Palestine protests, threatening us with 6-18 months in prison, up to $5k in fines, and 5 years community control FOR WEARING A MASK TO PROTEST. this isn’t a slippery slope, it’s the wayside.

our dms are open to support organizing efforts by and for disabled and high risk community members. we're working to create more resources to share to support our growing movement and resist liberal co-optation. we will not tolerate our organizers being alienated by ableism.

by moving maskless, not only are grifter abolitionists spreading plague, they're building blocks for a culture that enforces eugenics through policing. mask bans already exist. disabled people are already dead and dying and exiled. Black disabled trans people are at highest risk.

@ngwagwa thank you for your energy and labor calling us out on our problematic and appropriative use of "carceral" here. we see that we got that very wrong and appreciate that you showed us how!

the work of mask blocs specific to collaborating with mutual aid networks that are eugenicists against us (and those they serve) is traumatizing beyond words. the emotional labor behind mask distribution (and ableist organizers' retribution) is so heavy.

mask blocs aren't the founders of mask distribution, BIPOC disabled queer people are before COVID, disability justice organizing already facilitated education and mutual aid centering masks and air quality amidst smoke, surveillance, chemical weapons, pollution, and illnesses

I can promise you that your anniversary event DID disappoint. it was a reunion for airborne pathogens, celebrating exclusion of immunocompromised people, and recommitting to eugenics just as another covid surge is underway. fuck your cheers, but you can definitely GO.

it is never surprising when organizations who practice eugenics implode. ableist organizing will *never* be sustainable. will columbus organizers ever get this? will y’all ever divest from the city’s colonizer namesake and stop spreading diseases?

we have no interest in the state unless we’re talking abolition. we keep us safe means we keep us free from exploitation. we supply communities left to die by the govt w high quality masks for free and autonomously. we endorse community care, not candidates.
