We are a network of neighbors organizing mutual aid in Durham.
#MutualAid is about recognizing that the dominant system is not meeting all of our needs for survival and that we can organize to meet each other’s needs now. https://t.co/fFVVpLvzdD
It really cannot be said enough that its mutual aid groups in Texas who are keeping people housed & safe right now. The gov’t can try to blame a lack of resources or unpreparedness or whatever but at the end of the day, community members kept folks safe immediately and for free.
#MutualAid:
"the work we do in social movements to directly support each other’s survival needs, based on a shared understanding that the crises we are facing are caused by the system that we’re living under & are worsened by those systems."

Black and Pink Seattle/Tacoma has about 50 queer/trans/nb prisoners looking for pen pals. Please share this and become a penpal if you can. Let's get every one of these people a penpal! #MutualAid#abolition
Capitalism is a crisis generator. The only way to topple it and build a wholly different world is from below, with masses of ordinary working people taking control of their own lives and society.
The radical core of mutual aid isn’t the provision of services. It’s the relationships that are built and strengthened on the basis of collective self-reliance and solidarity. It’s treating people as agents of, not pawns in, politics.

just a reminder that if you have disposable income you need to be doing direct mutual aid, it can quite literally be the difference between life or death for someone
A lot of poor people don’t have student loans...they have payday loans and medical debt, and an inflated car payment. They deserve to have their debt erased just like college grads.
🚨 Our new food pantry is up and running at Union Special in Gateway Plaza off Capital Blvd. in Raleigh!! Stop by and take what you need, leave what you can for others in the community 🥫
We are also trying to build our network of regular monthly donors so we can build our network of people who receive funds regularly. If you are able to do a monthly donation, that would be very helpful! Any amount you can give will be appreciated. https://t.co/XgQ6Yk9BNk
Do you desperately need the $600 stimulus check from the latest COVID relief bill?
(Sure, it would be nice, but do you NEED it?)
