![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.](https://venexa.site/media/Gg9TX9HakAA815u.jpg)
