There is zero evidence mask bans are effective against crime or hate. But there's a lot of evidence that shows banning masks will put everyone's health at risk, and increases harassment and targeting of higher risk people and communities of color. Mask bans make cities LESS safe.

Dr. Lucky Tran :verified: (luckytran@med-mastodon.com)'s status on Wednesday, 26-Jun-2024 00:17:16 JST Dr. Lucky Tran :verified: When leaders talk about banning masks for safety, they ignore the safety of many diverse communities. People who are higher risk, and Asian people have been attacked for wearing masks. Black and Brown communities are disproportionately targeted by police. Safety means EVERYONE.
