New Yorkers just got this budget update from the Governor:
"Every policy in my budget...is focused on making life better for you and your family" — except if you're immunocompromised, want to protect your health with high-quality masks, or care about civil rights.

Ableism & eugenics 🤝 anti-mask & anti-vaxx ideology
If you want to distance yourself from #ableism, #eugenics, anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers as much as possible, an easy way to do this is to wear a mask in public spaces
It’s not too late to start again if you’ve stopped

Called my NY State Senator, Assemblymember, as well as Assembly Speaker, Senate Majority Leader, and Governor and urged them not to include anti-mask policy in the state budget! Masks should not be criminalized.
Budget isn't over yet.

Supporting a mask ban and allowing NY State officials to collaborate with ICE are policies that actively support Trump's agenda. New Yorkers need to hear that Kathy Hochul @govkathleenhochul.bsky.social opposes BOTH of these in the NY State of the State. #NY4all #NoMaskBans
"We're appalled by the claim that banning masks is in service of Jewish safety...Mask bans—exemption or not—discriminate against anyone who cannot afford to get sick, and they advance a broader anti-democratic effort to criminalize protest.”

Mask bans and revocation of medical exemptions have been all over social media this week - and anti-maskers are reacting with glee. They are celebrating disabled people losing a tool for protection.

Certain politicians aren’t just saying the quiet part out loud - they’re screaming it. They’re saying disabled ppl should die, expanding euthanasia, banning masks & dismantling healthcare.

As we've been telling you for some time: Police are not equipped to distinguish who "needs" to wear a medical mask, and who doesn't. Nor would they care to, even if they had the skills. Nor should it matter, because we all have a right to protect our health & privacy. #NoMaskBans #NoKings

North Carolina Passes HB 237 and Bans Medical Masks in Public
This discriminatory and ableist bill puts lives at risk and further isolates vulnerable people from society. It's pandering to anti-maskers who seek to punish disabled and high risk individuals.
