No seriously, ask these organizers who don't mask and do nothing at all to protect others from covid what their plans are for their comrades who become severely disabled. Ask them publicly. Ask in meetings. Ask them everywhere. They should be accountable to the people, right?

In fire organizing circles we've been talking about this "blue sky effect"
Even if there is a fire nearby and it was high aqi yesterday and will be again tomorrow, people's interest in supplies like masks and purifiers, as well as in volunteering, dwindles.
If the disaster doesn’t get you, disaster capitalism will finish the job.
ALT Rent rose by 20 percent across L.A. County after fires. That’s illegal.
In nearly 30 cities in the county, the median rent for homes listed within two weeks after the fires began increased well past the legal limit of 10 percent.

This is just a shoutout to a man we only know as “Junior” who’s passed out 40 pallets of masks— FOR FREE— from his job who no longer wanted 2020 stock.
We got ~10.3k AT LEAST. Distro deets to come.

Let it be shown in the history books that it’s members of a community who have been shunned, pathologized, and called mentally unwell for the past almost 5 years; the Covid aware community who is saving everyone’s lungs down in L.A.

ALT Why was it such a priority to bring masks to evacuation centers?
Earlier this week, they were evacuating seniors from a care facility, with the fire raging, and it just broke my heart. I have masks. I’m like, ‘Okay, I need to do something.” The masks I had, I took them to All Saints Church [in Pasadena].
I was also aware that the Pasadena Convention Center was receiving people, so I went there. I had given out all the masks I had already. So I’m asking them, “Do you guys have respirators?” The Red Cross didn’t. The city didn’t. I asked the police, they didn’t have any. It was past eleven, so places like Home Depot that would sell them were closed. I made a video saying that we needed respirators to pass out to people. A lot of people are sending messages, and one of them was from Mask Bloc LA; they had enough where I didn’t have to go all over the city to pick up the other ones too, well over a thousand masks.
Have supplies for LA? Let's Go! Our first truck leaves tonight!

I know everyone has been worn down by years of propaganda telling you to sacrifice your health for capitalism, but please know wildfire smoke is no joke. Its particles can penetrate deep into your lungs and bloodstream. Please wear a N95 or P100 mask at all times you are exposed.
Is now a good time to mention that last month over 25 Los Angeles schools rejected our offers of completely free air purifiers for every single classroom on their campuses?
My fellow LA friends, let this be the disaster that radicalizes you. No more billionaires in our government. Our survival depends on real, responsible solutions made by people who care about us
Now’s a good time to remember California JUST voted to keep unpaid/criminally underpaid prison labor (slavery) and that a lot of the people affected by that vote are the ones fighting to save our city right now. npr.org/2024/07/18/nx-s1-504…
