Emergency Call to Action to Stop the Mask Ban in Maryland.
It's not just about safety, it's a rights issue.
There’s a bill being introduced to ban masks in the state of Maryland today at 11 am.
We need to call the state representatives introducing it and shut it down.
It’s so important that we stand against “mask bans” every time they show their ugly face, but let’s call this what it is… a ban on personal respiratory protection.
There’s a lot of propaganda surrounding the idea of whether respirators work or not, with tricky language being used to make them seem less effective.
Although, what this really comes down to is a personal freedom issue…
Folks should have the freedom to use personal respiratory protection.
We can talk about how it’s inclusionary, or that sucking down other people’s lung juice is just gross… but in the end, what matters is that folks should have that right.
In Maryland they are introducing a bill to ban masks entirely.
There’s been talk about respiratory protection being used to hide criminal activity…
However, it’s been demonstrated many times that it doesn’t inhibit finding criminals.
We need to step up against any attempt to ban personal respiratory protection.
This time it’s calling Maryland representatives.

They say they are already receiving a lot of calls so it’s a good time to call them some more. We have to stand against these mask bans and other attacks on public health.
Thank you to everyone who makes calls.
Thank you SO much for sharing this. We've also put together a linktree with resources for anyone that wants to take action: https://linktr.ee/FightMDMaskBans
Don, I love your work, and I'm confused. This ban is proposed by Jewish and Black Democrats to purportedly address masked intimidation and hate crimes. The bill allows masks worn for PPE and 6 other reasons. What am I missing?
