Mask Blocs across so-called "Canada" are currently banding together to try and bring awareness to the federal government cutting off free COVID testing by 2026.

We are looking to find folks who have knowledge and experience getting the government and harm reduction organizations to offer free naloxone kits and free condoms.
People with experience in politics and media relations would be very helpful!

Wanna help the sole volunteer behind MaskBlocYEG survive? I am an unemployed, disabled trans person.
The only reason I am still alive is because of donations. I don't want to go hungry. I don't want my pets to go hungry either.

Stock update for Mask Bloc YEG!
Are the pallets of KN95s you had for donation still available to pick up? Us and COVID Safer Amiskwaciy really need the stock!
Do you have a local mask bloc? They would likely be best to ask. They help folks get good respirators for free and would also know the reputable places to buy! I can make Canadian suggestions as well maskbloc.org

I am Alex from MaskBlocYEG (based in Edmonton) and I would love to come pick up these masks for distribution. Please reach out to me via email or DMs!
Any Alberta Covid cautious people on here? A friend reached out because they have a few pallets KN94s that are slightly expired but free to a good home if anyone wants them.
Otherwise they’re going to the landfill which seems like a waste.
If anyone has suggestions let me know??

What if everyone had masked up? Analysis of app data has an answer
Modelling study based on almost 250,000 positive COVID-19 tests in the United Kingdom shows that universal masking could have cut transmission markedly.

New modeling study finds that if everyone in the United Kingdom had worn N95 or FFP2 masks from the start of the pandemic, the rate of COVID-19 transmission would have been 9 times lower.

Did you know only about 20% of disabled people are born with their disability? The other 80% of us acquire their disabilities later in life. And you could become one of us!
COVID is a mass disabling event.
It's never too late to start masking again.
