Calling all cosplayers! Calling all cosplayers!
Hello, my Star Trek friends and family. As I’m sure you’re all aware, many hospital and medical facilities in the United States are currently facing protective mask shortages due to the corona virus/covid-19 pandemic.
In an effort to protect our medical workers on the front-lines of this pandemic, I am coordinating with the 501c3 non-profit organization, the Pop Culture Hero Coalition – founded and run by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine actress, Chase Masterson – the construction and delivery of hand sewn fabric masks by you, our cosplay community.
Specifications for the masks and face shields have been provided to us by medical community professionals.
When discussing the importance of Star Trek on our culture, one of the resounding statements always heard is that Star Trek is about hope for the future, about humanity coming together to help one another so that no one lives in need. Now is our opportunity to put those words into action.
As always, non-Trekkies are not only welcome, but encouraged to participate as well! One need not be a fan to live the ideology of Star Trek. Anyone interesting in participating in this relief effort, please contact me directly for further instructions.
Thank you all! Stay safe, stay clean, and LLAP!
The face mask initiative is now officially called Shields for Healthcare Heroes.
In addition to masks, many hospitals are in desperate need of face shields. For you crafty types, these are relatively straightforward to make and I’m more than happy to provide you with the instructions - which we received directly from medical professionals.
Please message me if you’re interested!
