When crisis hits, we need each other

A person in a jean jacket, pink pants, and a black respirator mask hands out white n95 masks with yellow straps to 3 black men in front of bicycles and a chain link fence.

Why Mask Oakland Matters

We handed out masks to houseless folks and other vulnerable communities stuck in toxic fire smoke in 2017, 2018, and 2019 providing air quality and health education along the way, across the San Francisco Bay Area.

Masks:
😷 prevent damage to hearts and lungs by blocking toxic particulates
😷 help people breath more easily
😷 give tangible relief from headaches, wheezing, dizziness, inflammation
😷 are gifts that say “you are not forgotten

Truly helping people helps us all

MASK OAKLAND

In the 2018 Camp Fire, we provided more masks than all Bay Area governments combined. In 2019, we helped thousands before any agency response. So we are developing a long-term strategy for disaster relief and policy change. You can help us.

We use social media to reach huge audiences during crisis; we now seek long-term supporters

Attention always drops off after a disaster leaves the news, but we must nurture this life-saving momentum. Our community is transformative and standing-by. Please help us grow!
