A group of North Carolina residents has started a "Burn Your Mask Challenge" to show their disapproval for Gov. Roy Cooper's plan to potentially make face mask mandatory.
A Facebook group called Reopen NC is encouraging its members to burn their masks and take videos of it. The group's co-founder, Ashley Smith's video has gone viral among the local community.
“Today I’m going to say loud and clear, ‘I will not comply. I do not consent,'” Smith said, per the local news outlet WWAY. “I can’t think a more poignant way to say we’re going to resist the muzzle than to just light one on fire.”
Smith was driven to come up with the challenge as the governor's office, along with North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), is reportedly considering introducing the mandatory wearing of face mask after North Carolina's present reopening phase ends this June.

Burning face masks is not the answer. Millions of Americans refusing to wear a mask will get the desired result. They can't arrest everyone --- bad optics and physically impossible. But to succeed it will take a large number of people in every state to stand up and say no more. Peaceful civil disobediance
Its time for all Americans started burning their mask the human body can handle the virus
One of the most beneficial actions we can take will be voting Cooper The Clown OUT of office in Nov.
I refuse to wear a mask unless I have to go to a hospital with someone or a scared doctors office.
This I agree with. I don't like them making anybody to wear masks. That should be outlawed. Maybe if more and more people work together then maybe we could get rid of this mandate.
BURN AWAY! We MUST stand up to the insurrection happening, of which the Chinese virus is a part‼️‼️‼️
Great idea. Rarely go to a store anymore because of the Face Diaper and I know I am not alone. Only go to the grocery store if I have to an that is not very often. They have got to be losing money.
Love your term, Face Diaper. Awesome!
me too. I only go to the grocery store but that is it.
Good idea, but I wouldn't eat that hot dog; it probably has thousands of toxins burned into it from that evil mask below it.
