#WorldMaskWeek asks folks to commit to masking up for collective health for 1 week (May 25-31, 2026)
Bigger picture, Mask Week is so many things: an invitation to co-ideate with folks inside or outside your region, a tangible solidarity action, a vessel to meet like-minded folks, a way to truly embody intersectional values, & so much more.
It can (and should!) look different from place to place, but our intentions are rooted in deepening our practices of community care, because masking is a practice.

WHO: World Mask Week is for:
• Folks looking to opt back into masking up more often
• Folks who are “still COVIDing” or trying to avoid airborne illnesses
• Folks needing accessible PPE including masks, rapid tests, and other resources
• Folks wanting to fight things like fascism, mask bans, and oppression towards Indigenous, Black, 2SLGBTQIA+, disabled, houseless, elder, youth & other marginalized beloveds

ROLES: if you’ve fallen off with masking, we hope that you’ll take this week as an opportunity to get back into the practice & Mask Up at least at The Big 3 (stores, appointments, and on public transit). If you’re “still COVIDing” (or whatever you prefer to call it), help us get the word out to people where you live who are & are not still masking, and also use this as an opportunity to explore building out longer term efforts if called. Infinite roles to fill or dream up.
*Feel free to translate & share all materials! The World Mask Week flyer is available in multiple languages on the website below. If you can send us other translations, we’d appreciate it.
