How the 'Auntie Sewing Squad' built a massive free mask operation for people the 'government didn't care about.'
In the early days of the operation, just two months ago, brick and mortar fabric stores were shut down, so it was a struggle to get supplies, Wong said. Friends would donate old clothes, scrap fabric and elastic; fitted sheets and headbands were repurposed into protective gear.
One of them is Constance Parng, who, like Wong, is an artist. But these days she's coordinating shipments of masks with groups, including with the Navajo Department of Health. Parng has also overseen four supply vans to Native American territories, containing sewing machines, sewing supplies and cleaning products. For her organizing abilities, the group has given Parng the nickname"Auntienie Fauci."
To Parng, the Auntie Sewing Squad is a profound example of allyship:"People who are undervalued in society can help others who are oppressed and undervalued in this society."
