UPDATE: NY Governor Kathy Hochul said on CNN last night that she is considering a ban on masks. This is absolutely shameful! New York has suffered so much from COVID, and COVID is not over. We should be normalizing and depoliticizing masks, not banning them.

Pre-pandemic laws banning masks from group events were always harmful. We should have learned from the pandemic that we need to do more to normalize public health tools like masks. After seeing so much death and harm that is continuing, it makes no sense to roll back mask laws.

you can kill two birds with one stone! tell her that you oppose a mask ban AND that you support congestion pricing (which will improve air quality) in the same call! no need to wait on hold twice :) bsky.app/profile/chim...
In the last week, Kathy Hochul has: - attempted to cancel congestion pricing (so increasing pollution) - issued a warning about hazardous air quality in NY state - said she wants to ban respiratory masks in public

Yes! Both are things which make public health worse!

I just called, and mentioned the mask ban, the congestion charge, and the soldiers she placed to inspect people at gunpoint. Just shameful behavior all around.

Basically, we should all just call Hochul and tell her to keep her hands off the MTA.

My email I sent to Gov. Hochul's office:
While you’re at it, mention this: “The global average concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in May 2024 was 5.9 parts per million (ppm) higher than in May ‘22. This is the highest two-year increase in CO2 levels ever recorded, NOAA announced on June 6.” yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/06/may-...
May 2024: Earth's 12th-consecutive warmest month on record » Yale Climate Connectionsyaleclimateconnections.org The year 2024 is being given a 50-75% chance of surpassing 2023 as Earth's warmest year on record.
