Please help support - grass roots PPE production for schools

Florida has decided that the schools are opening come hell or high water. At the same time the state is providing little to no support for providing PPE for children, teachers and other school workers.

We have put together a coalition of Makerspaces, Hackerspaces, and individual makers to help produce PPE and distribute it to local school systems.

Our core organization (FamiLAB) producer about 2400 face shields for local hospitals in May. We are now trying to help the school systems as well and spread the effort to increase production by working in coordination with similar efforts throughout the country.

Anything you can do to help spread the word is greatly appreciated.

FamiLAB is 501(c)(3) non profit organization.
We are purely volunteer based / no paid employees.

How long into the Biden administration before Republicans start complaining about the pandemic?

I am sure that this pandemic is still going to be going strong well into next year. Particularly since the President and many Republican leaders are going to refuse to do anything to slow it down.

I am betting that about 3 months into Biden's first term, around April/May, we are going to be hearing from Republicans about how Biden has failed at stopping the pandemic.
