- Reposted by COVID Safe CampusNEW: Fight for the Future and @covidsafecampus.bsky.social are sounding the alarm as more schools capitulate to Trump admin financial threats and quietly adopt forced unmasking policies for the fall semester. www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2025-08...

- Reposted by COVID Safe CampusWe're working with @covidsafecampus.bsky.social to track campus mask bans and amplify strong opposition at every level. You can use our Campus Mask Policy Scorecard to stay up to date on policies, submit data, and take action: StopCampusMaskBans.com.
- Reposted by COVID Safe CampusBy creating a chilling effect on masking and ample opportunities for harassment and profiling, mask bans gravely escalate the life-threatening impacts of police violence, doxxing, #COVID, and #LongCOVID. They have no place on college campuses. StopCampusMaskBans.com
- Reposted by COVID Safe CampusMask bans are a tactic of #surveillance and control. Not only do they infringe upon people’s rights to health, safety, #privacy, and #accessibility, they cause disproportionate harm to racially marginalized + #disabled people. thesicktimes.org/2024/09/03/p...
- Reposted by COVID Safe CampusLast month, the Trump admin added fuel to the fire, issuing letters to Columbia & Harvard demanding campus #maskbans. Columbia capitulated, continuing their disastrous strategy of attacking #Palestine solidarity mvmts at the expense of everyone’s health & privacy www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
- Reposted by COVID Safe CampusIt’s no secret that universities have cracked down on student speech, sacrificing campus safety & fundamental rights to quash protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. In response to April 2024 encampments, a renewed tactic of suppression emerged: the campus mask ban www.aclu.org/news/privacy...
- PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST: Do you know of any schools that ban masks or force mask removal for "ID checks" or any other reason? Take 5 minutes to report any campus mask restrictions/bans: tinyurl.com/ReportCampus... Every submission helps advocates track and oppose these policies! More info below.

- URGENT: NY Gov. is pushing harder for mask ban Take action, see thread The criminalization of masks is antithetical to public health & community safety. Mask bans disproportionately harm the most marginalized people, especially racially marginalized & disabled people. www.nyclu.org/press-releas...
- Reposted by COVID Safe Campus"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.” - JFREJer @levin.bsky.social www.nyclu.org/press-releas...
- Reposted by COVID Safe CampusSpeak out against a mask ban in NY! Our Action Toolkit has actions to take and key people to contact with their contact info. Action Toolkit at: covidadvocacyny.org/stopmaskbanny Please spread the word! Thank you for taking action! #NoNYMaskBan
- Reposted by COVID Safe CampusImportant: When calling government officials about mask bans, specify "any law that would criminalize masking, whether as an enhancement or a ban." (Many lawmakers don't consider current versions "bans" despite restricting mask use.) (3/4)
- Reposted by COVID Safe Campus🚨 URGENT: Governor Hochul is pushing a last-minute mask ban into the budget. Everyone needs to call her today and tell her you oppose any criminalization of masks in New York. ☎️ Call: 518-474-8390 📠 Fax: 518-474-1513 #NoNYMaskBan (1/4)
- Reposted by COVID Safe CampusWe’ll say it again: Criminalizing masks does not make New Yorkers safer. In reality, it puts our health at risk, opens the floodgates for racist enforcement, threatens to exile some people with disabilities from society, and undermines protections for protestors.
- Reposted by COVID Safe CampusGov Hochul is attempting again to ban masks in NY. Please call Governor Hochul and your NY State Senator and Assemblymember and urge them not to ban masks! More info: covidadvocacyny.org/stopmaskbanny #NoNYMaskBan #StopMaskBans gothamist.com/news/gov-hoc...
- Reposted by COVID Safe CampusNEW: New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul is reviving her push to ban masks and is urging New York State lawmakers to include a mask ban in the upcoming state budget. This move endangers public health and threatens civil liberties.

- NEW: CSC is launching a policy report form to track campus mask bans and restrictions being proposed or implemented at universities/colleges across the US. If you care about pandemics, privacy, protests, and Palestine, help us spread the word and track these policies. tinyurl.com/ReportCampus...
- Reposted by COVID Safe CampusRecently I went to the state capital to testify against a mask ban bill in Maryland. As we await updates, I hope this is educational to hear if you’re new to the topic or encourages you to speak out in the future. It's not over until it's over everywhere. Nobody is free until all of us are free.
