ALT Image 1: Happy Disability Pride Month! Accessibility is more than ramps or interpreters. Make your community welcoming for Disabled people. Wear a mask! An illustration of a 3M Aura with the disability pride flag is to the right of the text.
ALT Image 2: But Why Mask? Masking is community care and protects everyone you come in contact with, disabled or not. COVID never ended and continues to create serious acute and chronic health issues, especially for Disabled and immunocompromised people. Masks communicate safety and solidarity. Show those around you that you care by making spaces more accessible.
ALT Image 3: Mask for Those Who Canāt. Our society is centered on individualism, public health included. Masking isnāt just to protect yourself; it is also to protect those who canāt. Alice Wong, a staunch Disability rights activist, emphasized the need for collectivism around masking. Alice used a tracheostomy to breathe, meaning masking wasnāt viable. Her protection against COVID was dependent on the actions of others. A photo of Alice Wong in a pink shirt and pants is in the bottom right corner.
ALT Image 4: Mask For Those Who Can't. āWhen I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling and a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply donāt care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.ā A photo of Alice Wong with a yellow half-circle behind her is at the bottom of the page.
ALT Image 5: Where Do I Start? Even if you havenāt masked in a minute, it doesnāt mean you canāt start again! Public spaces are the perfect places to begin, such as grocery stores, health care facilities, and public transportation.
ALT Image 6: Need a mask? Disability Pride Month is about celebrating Disabled voices, but it is also about resistance against ableist, racist, and eugenic systems. Supporting the community can be as simple as masking up! Indy Mask Bloc is here to help! If you need masks, fill out our Jotform in our bio to get free high-filtration masks and rapid COVID tests.
