This is a critical time in our 2+ year campaign to return rights and sanity to Los Angeles citizens. We must remove LA County Health Director Barbara Ferrer from office as soon as possible, and she is under incredible pressure due to the potential return of the totally senseless mask mandate.

If we all reach out and make our voice heard - we have our best chance to end the madness, prevent our children from having an inconceivable 4th year of disrupted education.

Here are four easy things you can do RIGHT NOW:

1 - Please support our new video campaign to remove Barbara Ferrer here: https://gogetfunding.com/video-campaign-to-fight-ferrer/ If everyone can simply give $5, $10, $20, or more by this weekend, we can launch an aggressive campaign that will make a real impact. We need to keep the pressure on her until she leaves or is fired. 

2 - Email the people responsible for these policies, which NO OTHER COUNTY IN CA IS FOLLOWING.

Send to:

 <dphdirector@ph.lacounty.gov>, <jcheves@ph.lacounty.gov>, <taschoolsupport@ph.lacounty.gov>, <Kathryn@bos.lacounty.gov>, <fourthdistrict@bos.lacounty.gov>, <firstdistrict@bos.lacounty.gov>, <HollyJMitchell@bos.lacounty.gov>, <sheila@bos.lacounty.gov>bferrer@ph.lacounty.gov,

henry.stern@sen.ca.gov, bob.hertzberg@sen.ca.gov, rgilchick@ph.lacounty.gov,,, dphdirector@ph.lacounty.gov, cvperez@ph.lacounty.gov, sheila@bos.lacounty.gov,

In the email - possible notes to hit: 

• Barbara Ferrer has lost your trust.
• The California department of health RECOMMENDS indoor masking it doesn't REQUIRE it.
• Children are not responsible for keeping adults safe
• The High transmission metric is misleading (heads of LA county + USC Hospital recently confirmed that 90% of their COVID-positive patients are there for other reasons)
• Basing Masking on inflated metrics is arbitrary
• Indoor mask mandates do not impact transmission rates in the general population (https://www.sfgate.com/coronavirus/article/bay-area-mask-mandate-results-17271294.php
• Mask mandates in K-12 schools do not impact transmission rates in schools
• Masks are not a neutral intervention (Kids may have speech issues, asthma, be hard of hearing, behavioral issues etc.)
• Natural Immunity and high vaccine rates must be considered

SIGN: First name/Last Name + zip code

3 - Submit a comment here for the board of supervisors (https://publiccomment.bos.lacounty.gov - about Set Item #2 about the health order, and tell them you want Ferrer fired for her terrible policies and the impact they have had on your family, business or children.

4 - Amplify and share on social media.

We will not stop until we restore this city to sanity!
