By 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

Last 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...

Caving to Trump's demands, Columbia University says it will ban mask-wearing

Enforcing such an order while allowing exceptions for health can be a dicey matter.

It’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...

Important: 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)

We’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.

Our Work at COVID Safe Campus: Now & in 2025. COVID Safe Campus works to support disabled college students and their access and safety through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, challenging the collective abandonment of marginalized communities by the institutions that claim they will protect us. We fight for disability justice and access by supporting on-the-ground student activists with free masks and educational resources, a peer space, and advocacy support. We take action for policy change and conduct research that challenges the oppressive status quo of academia. The environment has never been good, and we know it's about to get even worse. Our work is vital as a national organization positioned to support students and our campus communities through ongoing threats to our health and education access. Supporting us will mean materially pushing forward the movement for COVID justice and disability justice in higher education, healthcare settings and beyond- we are a crucial support network for student activists and resource for this specific arena of the fight.
