Mutual Aid
Help That Helps
Mutual aid is not charity. It’s people supporting one another directly—based on trust, solidarity, and shared survival. It’s how communities get through hard times when institutions fall short or cause harm.
Right now, all over the country—and the world—people are organizing mutual aid efforts to help each other with food, rent, bail, medical bills, and disaster response.
But many of these efforts are underfunded, under-amplified, and overwhelmed.
This page exists to boost their signal—not to replace, reinvent, or gatekeep. If you want to help, start by learning who’s already doing the work.
