Masks For The People Campaign

Masks For The People is a humanitarian campaign, launched by Pastor Michael McBride and Faith in Action’s LIVE FREE campaign, in response to the disproportionate impact COVID-19 is having on underserved, minority communities, to ensure people have access to lifesaving personal protective equipment (PPE) and preventive care.

As a result, we are partnering with Dr. James Corbett and Initium Health to secure a supply chain of FDA approved masks, hand sanitizer, and other PPE for existing and newly incarcerated individuals, essential workers and the most vulnerable residents within communities of color.

On April 13, Twitter Founder & CEO Jack Dorsey donated $1M and we are continuing fundraising to bring more resources and awareness.

GOALS:

  • DONATE to Sustain Supply Chain of PPE
  • EDUCATE Misinformed Americans on Preventive Care Tip
  • ADVOCATE for Equitable Resources (Preventive Care, PPE, Mass Testing etc.)

HOW IT WORKS:

The following communities will be provided access to PPE at the Masks For The People site:

  1. Newark
  2. New Orleans
  3. Detroit
  4. Atlanta
  5. Los Angeles
  6. Orlando
  7. Miami
  8. Chicago
