We have some comrades who take it very seriously, and all our national events require masking. Our local meetings do too but i can't speak for everywhere. Do you think DSA doesnt take disability politics/masking seriously? What has been your experience?
Thats good I haven’t seen any mention of masking/covid but to be fair i dont follow DSA much. I dont have direct experiences with DSA but they’re never brought up by the disability justice activists i follow or anyone in the “covid conscious” space. I’ve only seen anarchists mentioning covid and setting up mask blocs and clean air orgs that set up lending libraries for air purifiers/CR boxes and the far uvc lights by Naomi Wu
I'll have to look into those lending libraries locally. Tbh, mutual aid isn't really what I'm involved in, though DSA does have a national mutual aid working group, I wonder if they have any similar programs? I appreciate your insight! Even for activists who do care about inclusion and disability rights, things slip through the cracks which is why a diversity of perspectives and democratic import is so crucial if we are ever gonna change this broken system. Well, broken for us at least.
