Key Messages

There is no evidence that mask bans work, and they have historically been weaponized against marginalized groups. These bans rely on fear, not facts. The cost of getting it wrong is too high.

Health exemptions are unworkable and discriminatory. Determining who ‘deserves’ to wear a mask is invasive and unfair, especially since many health conditions are invisible.
Stigmatizing masks emboldens hate. These bans claim to fight hate, but they endanger mask-wearers by exposing them to profiling, harassment, and discrimination and forcing them out of public life.
Mask bans rely on biased enforcement. Police cannot determine who “needs” to wear a mask, making enforcement similar to stop-and-frisk. This increases profiling for marginalized groups who already face higher mask-related threats from law enforcement.
Superficial policies do not solve antisemitism. It’s rooted in stereotypes and conspiracy theories, which these policies could fuel. Real change requires education & solidarity, not compromising our health and liberties.
Masks are essential tools for dealing with environmental crises. From wildfires to air pollution to protection from extreme weather, masks protect against health risks caused by climate change.
Mask bans are bad for public health and trust in institutions. They undermine the ability of individuals to protect themselves in a society still grappling with COVID, H5N1 pollution, and other health threats.

Some groups are pushing for a dangerous mask ban in New York, and It’s getting bipartisan support. It’s being marketed as a "counter-antisemitism" measure, so there’s a sign-on letter for Jewish people to oppose mask bans. Banning masks won't stop hate, but it will put everyone in danger. We need as many signatures as possible to make our voices heard. It’d mean a lot if you could sign! Here’s the link: JewsForMaskRights.com.
