The coronavirus pandemic has thrust NYC firefighters to the forefront of a global health crisis. They respond, as always, with skill and respect to answer emergency calls, often putting their lives on the line to save others. With COVID-19, they turned their lives upside-down to prevent spreading the virus to their loved ones, many living separately from their families in order to contain the virus they were exposed to daily. It is clear that this crisis is having an impact on their physical and mental health. Loved ones feel it, too, as their lives have changed significantly as they rearrange their lives, discuss the 'what-ifs' and make difficult decisions to protect their children and family. For retired firefighters at home, especially those who have lost a family member or colleague in the line of duty or to illness, who find themselves quarantined with nothing to do but watch news and check the internet—this is devastating from a mental health perspective.

The Phluid Project, launched in March of 2018 in NYC and online for access worldwide as a gender free fashion brand. We joined a movement of humans committed to challenging the ethos of traditions past that inhibit freedom and self expression. Our world is grounded in purpose and humanity through fashion, community, activism and education. The rising voice of today’s youth reject gender binaries and desire an all encompassing space, both physically and virtually, that allows us to wear what makes us feel good and express ourselves with freedom and authenticity.
