Already dealing with this in NC. Our mask ban law allows medical & surgical masks to be worn in public, but only to prevent the spread of contagious disease. So those of us seeing smoke & poor air quality from the Table Rock & Persimmon Ridge fires in SC can't lawfully wear them. #MaskBan
Mask bans and bush fires should be an interesting combination.

The NC mask ban hasn’t even been entered into law & already there’s a story of a woman being intentionally coughed on & harassed. This mask ban WILL cost lives.

You have a right to wear a mask at all times and in any setting.
Today NYC Mayor Eric Adams said he hoped recent events would accelerate implementation of a mask ban.
Reminder: There is no evidence that mask bans stop crime. Mask bans make cities more unsafe because preventing people from wearing masks increases the spread of diseases.

En France, la police utilise déjà le port du masque comme prétexte pour justifier des répressions racistes, y compris en-dehors des espaces de luttes.

Masking for all. Public & personal health shouldn’t be viewed as an exception to a rule - it needs to be the norm. Mask bans further marginalize people.

Mask bans with health exemptions still lead to people getting harassed, especially if they're a person of color.

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.”
In August, Nassau County lawmakers passed a bill banning the public from wearing masks. Protesters showed up today masked anyway. We asked them why.
