Prior to the establishment of this fund, Silicon Valley DSA has bought and distributed approximately 5,000 KN95 respirator masks for use by people affected by unhealthy air quality due to the various Lightning Complex Fires throughout the SF Bay Area, particularly SCU and CZU.
We have provided bulk mask deliveries to a number of partner organizations for distribution in their communities, and we have partnered closely with South Bay Mutual Aid and the San Jose Peace and Justice Center to provide masks directly to the public in Downtown San Jose.
