Grassroots response to respiratory crisis since 2017

Mask Oakland has provided over 350,000 respirator masks (N95/KN95) quickly and to those who need them most during crisis, whether that's wildfire smoke, COVID, both, or beyond.

Our work has supported low-income, homeless, disabled, and/or people stuck working in high-risk environments like farmworkers during smoke. We follow mutual aid and share with other regions and states when we can meet urgent needs.

We are also working to expand our education work beyond training volunteers to sharing the lessons of our unique history navigating years of wildfires with other activists around the world.

Thank you for your generosity and support as we prepare for future wildfires and other campaigns to empower and protect our communities in these turbulent times.
