Demonstrators Demand: Keep Masks in Healthcare Settings and Jails in San Francisco! Pt 2

Disability activist Alice Wong spoke saying, "Days like this make me feel like I'm in a dystopian zombie apocalypse where we have to beg the fascist authorities to listen to us before it's too late. The reality is we are not a society centered on care. If we value people over profits, care over capital; if we center the wisdom of the most marginalized and vulnerable, if we believe in the power of care, we could survive this plague and coexist with the zombies among us...disabled wisdom is the answer; it is the way forward." Alice shared that while she is unable to mask herself due to a medical condition that requires the constant use of a ventilator, she counts on others to mask and keep her safe. "We must keep ourselves safe," someone was heard to say who stood near the front to hear Alice's words clearly.
