What is MaskBloc.org?

MaskBloc.org aims to provide a comprehensive directory of active Mask Blocs around the world. We strive to make the site fully accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, while ensuring it's easily discoverable via search engines.

As this site is still a work in progress, full accessibility has not yet been achieved. However, we are actively working to improve it. If you encounter any accessibility issues, please let us know by emailing us at contact@maskbloc.org.

Please note that MaskBloc.org is an independent platform and is not affiliated with any of the groups listed. If you would like your Bloc removed from our directory, please reach out.

You are welcome to mention MaskBloc.org and use our logos online, provided that you include a link back to our website and do not imply any endorsement or affiliation with MaskBloc.org unless explicitly granted.

What are Mask Blocs?

Blocs are formed when individuals or groups unite around a common goal. Blocs can take many forms, ranging from voting and political pressure groups, to advocacy groups and mutual aid organizations.

Mask Blocs are independent mutual aid group providing high quality masks to their community for free. They may also provide other tools and information about COVID-19, clean air, testing, vaccination and accessibility.
