Safe Schools NY: #maskingforafriend

March 2, 2022. outside the Tweed Courthouse in lower Manhattan. "Masks symbolize our interdependence and care for each other–our commitment to community."

Lyrics from the video :

"2,4,6,8 ..... are really great
6,5,4,3 in every school they should be free.

Please join us people on the street.
This is the time to protect everyone.
Please join us.

Masks protect others.
Masks are our friends.
Not like the flu and we're not at the end.

Whata we want? more testing.
When so we want it.Now.

Even people on the subway do it.
Masks do it. Masks keep us safe (whoo Bdway!)

We are here in a quiet way ...to invite others to join us.
To sing ... to chant together.
This is the moment when this new mayor can let us know what his priorities are.
We want him to take it very seriously, that nearly 50% of our students are not vaccinated. If it's for the kids...if it's for the economy ... we need to keep the masks.

Just because we're tired , doesn't mean it's over.
Mandate masks. That's our ask.
Masks for seniors. Masks for kids.
It's not about you. It's all about the flu.
Just because we're tired , doesn't mean it's over.
Mandate masks. That's our ask.

Masks protect others. Masks are your friends.
Not like the flu and we're not at the end."
