In #Sheffield and passionate about masking up and #MutualAid? We're short on active members and are looking to add some fresh energy! Get in touch if interested, preferably via email! #Covid19 #CovidIsNotOver

Boosting this again as we could really use more support - thank you to those who have donated so far, and thanks in advance to those who plan on doing so!

Hey all, we don't usually do such a call out but we're now on Open Collective and low on funds! Any and all donations add up and make a difference as we try and finish fulfilling the backlog of winter requests for masks and tests - and they can be one-off or recurring. Thanks in advance! https://opencollective.com/sheffieldmaskbloc #MutualAid #MutualAidRequest #MaskBloc #Sheffield #Covid #Covid19 #CovidIsNotOver

Last distros of the year rolling out this week, and they've cleared us out of pretty much all our supplies! Not to worry though - as additional requests will be handled in the new year as soon as we get more in, which we'll pursue right away! Stay safe, folx! #CovidIsNotOver #MutualAid #MaskUp #MaskBloc #Sheffield

"They were really watching us - like, actively tracking us - and we were just standing there. Given what's happening in the city right now with the targeting of people wearing masks, it didn't feel safe." The experience stood in stark contrast to the themes of Good Night, and Good Luck, a play that centers on resisting state surveillance and the persecution of dissent during the McCarthy era: https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Mask-For-Pleasure-COVID-impacted-Artists-Raise-Awareness-at-George-Clooneys-Broadway-Opening-20250406
