Masks Are Back! DO NOT COMPLY
- R E S I S T -
Just got a notice that masks are back at my local hospital/affiliates. Will not name names, but pretty big hospital system.
I"m hoping that we've learned our lesson from 1st run; I know this community has. However our success will depend on our ability to get others to PEACEFULLY NOT COMPLY. I've already let them know I will be leaving their services.
We showed the world we are capable of removing the bullhorn with Target/Bud Light. Let's continue to hold the line and remind them what the majority truly feels about their mask mandates for "our safety". God Speed!
