what is mutual aid? 

mutual aid refers to individuals joining together to assist one another emotionally, socially, materially, or financially. As opposed to charity, mutual aid is a two-way exchange and their is no moral superiority between giver and receiver.

solidarity not charity

​

In the face of crisis, there is often a gap in the amount of people who need help and aid available from the government and organizations. 

​

to fill this gap communities across the country have formed mutual aid groups to meet their own needs in a grassroots, decentralized, corruption-resistant way. aid is given directly to people who need it as opposed to going through an organization.

​

donating to mutual aid funds is more effective to getting people immediate assistance than donating to a nonprofit. (of course you can do both)
