Masking can be expensive 💸 but reusing our high quality respirators can reduce the cost. Check out our guide for how to make masking more affordable by reusing our respies 🧵 Need to buy? Check out our buying guide that has great (non Amazon!) options for purchasing.

"Why should I wear a mask outside?" "Can you really catch COVID outside?" Thanks for asking! We now have a little zine that answers those questions! This is available for anyone to print! Link in replies

A variety pack we recently put together! Whether you’re returning to masking and unsure what to pick or a long-time masker who wants something new, you can always request a variety pack from us to try out different styles and sizes!

Wearing masks does not increase your exposure to microplastics. It actually reduces it. We have studies that back this up. While people should criticize the horrible companies that make ppe, we should be careful not to spread anti-masker talking points.

Is 3M a garbage company? Yes. Are they ruining the environment? Absolutely! But N95s REDUCE our exposure to inhaled microplastics! The air is full of PFAS particulates from car tires! I would focus my energy on reducing car usage before worrying about masks.

"nothing like the last couple of years" You're right, wastewater levels are the worst they've ever been at this time of year. Please stop talking about COVID if you are going to spread misinformation

We do encourage you to find ways to stay connected that work for you. While the number of COVID-19 cases is currently slightly increasing, it is nothing like the last couple of years. Cover your cough, don't go out if you're sick, and consider wearing a mask in crowded places.

Thanks to amazing work by everyone in the group, yesterday we picked up 56,000 masks! We totally filled up this 15ft truck with boxes! We will immediately start distributing these around Seattle and are working to get these to over 9 other mask blocs around the country!

📣Seattle and UW community! At the University of Washington Board of Regents meeting on September 12, 2024, a commenter urged the Board to ban face masks at UW. We can't let this happen. We need to protect the right of students and staff to mask!

We're at the Capitol Hill farmers market right now and we will be here until 3pm. Today in addition to masks we are also giving out rapid tests (exp. 5/5) as long as supplies last!

Last month we distributed over 5,600 masks and filled over 70 mask/test requests!! All the bloc members are working so hard to make sure people in their community get what they need and I appreciate all of them so much ♥️😷

We wrote a mask buying guide to answer this exact question! In it we give trusted sources for buying high quality masks that have passed 3rd party testing: docs.google.com/document/d/1dl… In here we list five different trusted sites to buy Auras from. We don't recommend Amazon

Very sad if true. I did inspect and compare these when I got them and if they are fake the differences are very subtle. Where do you get your N95s now to ensure authenticity?
