How a group of local creatives has shifted their focus from making face shields for hospitals to producing them for protestors on the front lines of the fight for social justice.
at the hands of the police in Minneapolis, they shifted their focus. “We felt that we needed to take on the next big challenge, which was to be helpful, in any and every way possible, in the fight for racial justice,” Wertz toldAfter brainstorming with the team, the majority of whom had experienced firsthand loss and illnesses due to COVID-19, the group knew that they needed to provide local protestors with PPE.
in Brooklyn, Wertz and her factory of friends and colleagues made and distributed 500 more protest-ready face shields. They’re also currently selling the shields on their website, along with T-shirts printed with the words “Vote for Racial Justice” and “End Police Brutality,” with all the proceeds going toward purchasing more materials for the production of face shields for protestors, as well as the NAACP and Stacey Abrams’s anti–voter suppression organization Fair Fight.
