Karen Bass just announced that LA is looking into a mask ban and it is a move that would essentially ban me from public life. I am humbly asking, if you are an LA resident, please call the mayors office and tell them about what it would do to those of us who have no choice but to mask for health.
For the folks asking for reporting, it happened two hours ago and the only video around is on the bad place and I try not to bring that here. I’m sure reporting will follow.
Lots of folks pointing out its a ban on masks/protests. The thing most people don’t get about the danger of mask bans is many of us have had to defend ourselves from other people. I’ve had people try to take my mask off in two grocery stores and an airport. We are less and less safe.
Not to mention that these are the kind of things that get used sloppily by cops. The folks most likely to be stopped and policed are Black, Indigenous, Middle Eastern, and/or Latiné.
