Los Angeles County Pauses Universal Indoor Masking Mandate

Earlier this week, since announcing LA COUNTY mask mandate, Ferrer has been contradicted by LA’s own hospitals about COVID numbers and exposed for relying on a mask “study” authored by her own daughter. She was also caught mixing masklessly – indeed jubilantly – with 70,000 baseball fans.

The cities of Pasadena, Beverly Hills, Long Beach, El Segundo, and Manhattan Beach announced they would refuse to enforce Barbara Ferrer's order. And just moments ago, Ferrer backtracked and cancelled it.

LA County is cancelling its absurd new mask mandate. Thank you to all who fought back.

This is the turning point we’ve been working towards. It effectively stops Newsom from issuing another statewide mandate, eager as he might be to do so.

Notably, the current resistance is happening in some of the bluest parts of the state. In Long Beach, Democrats outnumber Republicans 144,000 to 44,000.
