Show Us Your Mask!

Proud member of AFSCME Local 366. I have made masks for my coworkers. They seem genuinely thankful. I am using my Grandmother's Singer. It was a wedding present in 1919. I wonder if she sewed masks back then?

When the pandemic hit and there was word that masks were needed, it was an opportunity to use my sewing skills, but more importantly to help people.

Thanks for the flower power mask.

I work at the deli counter at Pick n Save in Kenosha and am a member of UFCW Local 1473. It's a great thing what volunteers are doing with the Union Mask Brigade.

From all of us at USW Local 2-209 thanks for the donation of masks. Health and safety is a major concern of our union. Any extra help to stay safe at home and at work is very welcome.

While I sew, I think about every person who may wear one of the masks. I think about the MPS teacher delivering supplies to students, the transit worker driving my neighbor to pick up groceries, the healthcare worker who needs a covering to go over the N95 mask they’ve been re-wearing. I think about my family and the people they may come in contact with at the grocery store. I’ll continue to sew cloth masks past my bedtime until everyone is protected and safe.

Great mask, thank you UMB.

I am a cashier at Pick N Save in Kenosha and member of UFCW Local 1473. Flower power and union power are both in this mask.

Proud member of AFSCME Local 171 and reporter at WORT radio. Wearing masks is a way to show respect for others. Making masks is my way to show that respect, to give back to the community.

The Brigade has helped my sewing skills return and, I hope, help others stay safe and well.
