We are a collective of disabled & chronically ill artists, and we’ve created an air purifier lending library in New York City.

Our goal is simple: support artists, performers and cultural workers in hosting COVID safer, more accessible events in NYC.

Our HEPA air purifier lending library, open to artists, musicians, theater workers, venues, maker spaces, and events of any kind, is free, and prioritizes loans to those in communities most affected by the ongoing pandemic: disabled, Black, Indigenous, people of color, trans, queer, low income people, and those working public-facing jobs.

We join a growing network of volunteer-run action groups offering concrete tools, community education, and harm reduction. We can slow the spread of airborne infection in our city, and we know how to do it–together.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We work in Lenapehoking, which occupies part of the unceded homeland of the Lenape people. Colonial settlers and federal policies perpetrated generations of genocide, forced migration, and systemic, violent oppression that pushed the Lenape west and north to rebuild their nations in the areas now known as Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. We acknowledge today’s Lenape communities, including Lenape people who belong to the Delaware Nation and Delaware Tribe of Indians in Oklahoma; the Stockbridge-Munsee Community in Wisconsin; and the Munsee-Delaware Nation, Moravian of the Thames First Nation, and Delaware of Six Nations in Ontario.

We support their movements to reestablish their visible presence here, in their ancestral lands, and invite you to join our members in making regular donations :
