Donate to Freedom to Mask
Freedom to Mask is a grassroots campaign to ensure people can wear masks to protect themselves. Began in 2025, Freedom to Mask worked to support and educate leaders across New York State as to why mask bans are dangerous and why access to masks is critical for all everyday New Yorkers who wish to use them to protect themselves.
Masks protect people from disease, from harmful wildfire fumes, and protect our identities at rallies and protests when employers want to break unions and the Federal Government wants to crack down on all who oppose them.
Freedom to Mask believes that mask bans or additional penalties for people wearing masks will stigmatize mask wearing further. These measures will make it harder for people who need masks to participate in their communities, use transit, and do their jobs. Mask bans will make it harder for New Yorkers of color and LGBTQIA New Yorkers who wear masks to get through their days, potentially creating a new version of stop and frisk. Banning masks and penalizing mask wearing will in fact make our society as a whole less safe, and make our communities much harder to navigate for those who need to mask for their health or the health of their community or loved ones.
Donations to Freedom to Mask will go towards staff salaries, creating materials to oppose the bans, educational efforts around New York State as to why unfettered access to masks is essential, and where necessary, materials to support community opposition to mask bans.
If you or loved ones need to mask to be in public safely, Freedom to Mask is for you. If you want people who need to mask to be able to participate in the lives of their communities, Freedom to Mask is for you.If you want to protest in support of issues but worry about surveillance, Freedom to Mask is for you. If you don’t really understand why people still are masking, but don’t want another kind of behavior criminalized, Freedom to Mask is for you.
Thanks for joining this effort. Only together can we protect access to this critical health tool.
