CHMA is having a Community Party Giveaway + Swap on Saturday, November 12 from 12:00-4:00pm at the Historic First Church on Kingston Ave & Park Place! There'll be free packaged grocery parcels, free food and more!
As people were forced into systems of wage labor and private property, and wealth became increasingly concentrated, our ways of caring for each other have become more and more tenuous.

There is nothing new about mutual aidโpeople have worked together to survive for all of human history. But capitalism and colonialism created structures that have disrupted how people have historically connected with each other and shared everything they needed to survive.
Everyone, please keep spreading the word. This crisis isn't going to be resolved quickly. We are going to need some serious solidarity in the days and weeks ahead. #Solidarity#MutualAid

Thank you neighbors!! The donation intake was a success. We also gave away groceries, diapers and clothes. This is what mutual aid is all about. #CrownHeights#MutualAid
At its best, mutual aid actually produces new ways of living where people get to create systems of care and generosity that address harm and foster well-being.

Mutual aid gives people a way to plug into movements based on their immediate concerns, and it produces social spaces where people grow new solidarities.

During the heatwave last Friday, we led a water gun fight and Know Your Rights training for kids and adults in Brower Park. We also gave away dozens of water toys and backpacks stuffed with school supplies. The water battle drew in dozens of kids and adults and went on for hours.
Weโre raising funds to help cover work and living expenses for some of our neighbors One of them needs steel toe boots for work, another needs our help to pay for a storage unit, and another neighbor needs to cover the base fees to reactivate their cellphone line #MutualAid
