Special Census Design Masks for Communities

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, SWOP has networked with many amazing non-profit organizations in New Mexico to create masks and distribute them to at risk communities. SWOP is creating a special census design mask to remind these communities that they count for resources. The masks serve a dual purpose of protecting people from the virus and reminding them that they count! SWOP will also be collaborating with pueblos across the state to come up with their very own census designs and create masks that carry a message of pride throughout the SouthWest. Please help us support our printers and youth interns in making this project a reality!



More information about SouthWest Organizing Project: The SouthWest Organizing Project was founded in 1980 by young activists of color to empower our communities in the SouthWest to realize racial and gender equality and social and economic justice. We seek to redefine power relationships by bringing together the collective action, talents, and resources of the people within our communities. We work primarily in low-income communities of color to gain community control of our land and resources.
