MakeMasks

A temporary collective formed during initial surge; we got ~100K cloth masks to those in need. No longer taking orders, still fighting the good fight. 💪😷💝

[Scafe says wear a gd mask @erinscafe]

In some states, such as Alabama, only the voter can return the ballot by mail or hand delivery. So USPS is the only legal go-between. Of the 26 states that allow voters to designate someone for delivery, 12 have limits on how many ballots one person can collect and turn in.

@TheDianeKramer Fantastic, thank you! <3

@TheDianeKramer Do you have a link to the Erin pattern handy? I have someone asking after it and can't find one. :D

[MakeMasks @MakeMasks]

Good. Please reinstall those removed. And what about the sorting machines?

[Damian Trujillo @newsdamian]

JUST IN:
From @USPS
“We are suspending the removal of collection boxes at this time. All postings on collection boxes will be removed, as we will no longer be pulling any boxes. “

Worried about #USPS & the sanctity of your (our) vote? Get into @fairfightaction @DemocracyDocket and learn what you need to do, how you can help, and take action. We need a fair & operational Postal Service and the Postal Service needs our support. (Call your Reps!)

@nkatecho Can't fully vouch for them ("funds contributed help actblue," but that's a pretty standard disclaimer), but it's a start.

Oh hey, how about --> https://t.co/VLmO9O4m8u

[N. Kate Cho @nkatecho]

@MakeMasks 😊😊😊

[MakeMasks @MakeMasks]

@TheDianeKramer TY! <3

[MakeMasks @MakeMasks]

@nkatecho Not a bad idea! ;D

(But keep in mind only USPS is Constitutionally bound that all mail be delivered properly & remain confidential.)

[MakeMasks @MakeMasks]

Call. Your. Reps.

And send them a letter as well.

"Multiple sources within the postal service told Motherboard they have personally witnessed the [mail sorting] machines, which cost millions of dollars, being destroyed or thrown in the dumpster. USPS did not respond to a request for comment." https://t.co/urN1TypZJs

[Dr. Syra Madad @drsyramadad]

Back in March/April Dr. Stephen Morse from @Columbia and I debunked #COVID19 myths with @businessinsider. We’ve learned a lot since then and are excited to share an updated video debunking and addressing new and old myths.

It takes a whole 30 seconds to request your #VoteByMail ballot. We have a tool to make it easy no matter where you live (and no matter if you have a printer or not). And why not do it today on this arbitrary thing we call Vote By Mail Day? https://t.co/6tT6SbcJhr #EveryLastVote

[Redistricting Action @redistrictact]

No one should ever have to choose between their health and their right to vote.

As we gear up for Election Day this fall, we compiled a thread outlining where your state stands on #VoteByMail.

#VoteByMail is safe & secure. It is vital that people know this info. (Thread)

"Hygiene Theater Is a Huge Waste of Time"

Interesting read & important perspective on what's done to make us *feel* safer. Aligns w what epidemiologists are learning about transmission. (Also as always, note 'hygiene theater' =/= the importance of washing your hands!)

[pfpicardi @pfpicardi]

“Surface transmission of COVID-19 is not justified at all by the science,” Emanuel Goldman, a microbiology professor at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, said.

[NPR @NPR]

Researchers analyzed the data from every study on the protective effect of masks.

Their bottom-line estimate: If 95% of people wear cloth masks, transmission drops by at least 30%.

With this example, here's what happens over seven 5-day cycles 👇
