What is mutual aid?
Mutual aid is people working together to meet each other’s material needs (food, housing, healthcare, etc). Mutual aid is different from charity and social services-- instead of replicating the hierarchy and control of non-profits and government programs, mutual aid efforts strive to be transparent, collaborative, and powered by the people. Mutual aid is political. Mutual aid projects recognize current systems as a fundamentally unjust, see the connections between our collective problems and various forms of oppression, and understand that building a more survivable society requires more than symbolic acts or pressuring government representatives-- it requires each of us to actively create the world we want to see.”
