DESCRIPTION:Please Join Us to \nDemand SF Area Transit Agencies Keep Mask Mandates in 
 Place\nWednesday, April 13, Noon\nSF-MTA Headquarters, 1 South Van 
 Ness\nMarket St at Van Ness Ave, San Francisco.\nAlso on Zoom, link 
 below.\nContact: Raia Small, raia@sdaction.org, (415) 217-9882\n\nThe 
 Federal mandate for masking on transportation expires April 18, and many 
 transit agencies are preparing to drop their mask mandates.  Ending mask 
 mandates directly endangers immunocompromised people, old people, kids, 
 pregnant people, medically under-served people, and front-line workers, 
 largely black and latinx. Research shows being masked in the midst of 
 unmasked people does not offer adequate protection, particularly for 
 vulnerable people .  Ending mask mandates also endangers the general 
 population as the number of covid cases rises, as well as the number of 
 multiply infected and vaccinated patients, 10-30% of whom will develop 
 long-covid. \n\nSan Francisco's Senior & Disability Action and other groups 
 are demanding Bay Area transportation agencies, MUNI, AC Transit, and BART, 
 keep their mask mandates in place.  Please join us to oppose the 
 business-driven push for normalcy while the level of infection is above 
 four thousand per day.\n\nFacebook link to description of event, and
