What is Mutual Aid?
Mutual aid is about working together to ensure community needs are met; it is not about charity. Mutual aid creates networks of care to meet the immediate needs of our neighbors. It requires that we examine the root causes of societal inequity and understand that our own wellbeing is intimately linked to the wellbeing of our entire community. Mutual aid is a form of direct repair.
