Abstract

Masks for Crips was a mutual aid project that centered the Chicago disability community. Alison Kopit and Chun-shan (Sandie) Yi began the project at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it ran from March 2020 through July 2020. Early in the pandemic, when personal protective equipment (PPE) was difficult to come by and the state was not caring for those most impacted by the pandemic—disabled people, essential workers, people living in congregate facilities, and unhoused people, to name a few—the project provided homemade masks to disabled people and their care teams in the Chicagoland area. Masks for Crips addressed an infrastructural gap and disability community need in an urgent way, and provided information about how to use and care for masks, as well as best practices for reducing risk surrounding COVID-19. The project was born through text message-based conversation in March 2020 as Alison and Sandie held space for each other by sending memes, texts, and support informally. From those moments of connection, they proceeded to expand outward and develop a mutual aid project that delivered about 300 masks, start to finish. The project brought together delivery and mask-making volunteers while serving as a means of connection and an expression of disabled care during an isolating time.

关于“为瘸子戴面具”计划的对话与反思
“跛子面具”是一个互助项目,以芝加哥残疾人社区为中心。Alison Kopit和Chun-shan (Sandie) Yi在2019冠状病毒病大流行开始时开始了这个项目,从2020年3月持续到2020年7月。在大流行早期,个人防护装备(PPE)难以获得,国家也没有照顾受大流行影响最大的人群——残疾人、必要的工作人员、生活在聚集设施中的人、无家可归的人,仅举几例——该项目为芝加哥地区的残疾人及其护理团队提供了自制口罩。“瘸子口罩”项目以紧急方式解决了基础设施缺口和残疾人社区的需求,并提供了有关如何使用和护理口罩的信息,以及降低COVID-19风险的最佳做法。该项目于2020年3月通过基于短信的对话诞生,当时艾莉森和桑迪通过非正式地发送表情包、文本和支持来为彼此留出空间。从这些联系的时刻开始,他们开始向外扩展,并开发了一个互助项目,从头到尾交付了大约300个口罩。该项目将运送和制作口罩的志愿者聚集在一起,同时作为一种联系手段,在隔离期间表达残疾人护理。
