Thank you for your commitment to Equity and the wellbeing of all our children. Universal Masking in Schools helps keep children, staff and communities safe.

[Passaic Public Schools @PassaicSchools]

Please see an important message from our Superintendent of Schools. Effective tomorrow December 21, 2022, mask wearing is required across the district.

[BPS Families for Covid Safety @FamCOSa]

FamCOSa is deeply disappointed & frustrated that @BostonSchools is not requiring universal masking after Thanksgiving break, nor introducing in-school PCR testing after the holiday. Additionally, families who tried to use the Bolling Bldg testing site today found it closed.

[Justice Is Global @justiceisglobal]

Today we joined a call led by dozens of Latin American organizations, calling on @pfizer to expand access to generic Paxlovid.

We went to @pfizer’s Boston office, while actions also took place in Peru, Chile, and Colombia.

Pfizer: Latin America needs generic Paxlovid NOW!

Universal Masking in Schools Works.

Our op-ed on @NEJM study showing masking prevents #COVID19: “We believe the decision to continue compulsory masking in Boston’s schools likely saved lives, certainly protected health & definitely saved days of learning that could have been lost to COVID.” https://t.co/M568E0mXRM

Portable classroom in Wake County. Per messages from a parent at another school in a portable classroom, district say readings are "normal", "fine". This data is what we are seeing in portable classrooms. @CleanAirClassrm @iaqadvocates @nckhui @NCCOVIDAlliance

[Massachusetts Coalition for Health Equity @MAHealthEquity]

Please, sign our Open Letter urging Mass DPH to Keep Masks in Mealthcare. Healthcare facilities should be places for healing, not where you risk infection. With 300-400 people in the US dying daily, removing masks puts lives at risk. https://t.co/nI2hSd7Zpd

[Cheryl McLean-Buckman @cherylmclean045]

Covid cases are up over 700% compared to last year. What is the clear plan for the ongoing outbreaks?? Bos, is in med. level! Where is the masking district-wide? @BostonSchools @MayorWu @FamCOSa

Let’s normalize preventing COVID.

[Lazarus Long @LazarusLong13]

I dedicate this thread on school mask mandates to @DLeonhardt. School mask mandates are necessary to prevent the harms of CoVid - both to children, and to the loved ones they transmit CoVid to.

A great toolkit is from @UrgencyofEquity and is here:

[Urgency of Equity @UrgencyofEquity]

Thank you for your leadership -- COVID protections keep children, staff and communities safe.

@CynthiaNixon check out the https://t.co/UNDTbLQFuM toolkit!

[Cynthia Nixon @CynthiaNixon]

Does this change your mind about removing almost all Covid safety precautions in schools @NYCMayor ?👇

[People's CDC @PeoplesCDC]

Masks should be required in medical facilities and nursing homes.

Send a letter to Biden and Congress and tell them: the pandemic is not over; use layered protections to protect each other.

Mass infection should not be normalized.

Keep the pressure on the White House to Fund COVID response: free tests, free masks, free treatment, more research! #COVIDIsntOver

@EbonyJHilton_MD @myrabatchelder @AshHultman Lots of amazing resources in the @UrgencyofEquity toolkit. First, look at the most recent statistics, from before most US schools had started this school year.

[UNH Women's and Gender Studies Department @UNHFeminists]

One of WGS' biggest contributions is to unmask things that people consider "natural" (e.g., gender, sexuality, race). We can do the same with grind culture, and the "back to business" attitudes surrounding COVID. We simply do not have to accept that we are all going to get sick.

[BPS Families for Covid Safety @FamCOSa]

FamCOSa calls on @BostonSchools to institute universal masking when wastewater testing shows an increase in infections & implement opt-out pool testing. We also want clear benchmarks for instituting increased safety measures such as masking.
