Mutual aid

Common card · No. 203570

Mutual aid traditionally refers to an organizational model where community members partake in voluntary, collaborative exchanges of resources and services to overcome social, economic, and political barriers and meet common needs while mobilizing to fight injustice. Mutual aid can include physical resources like food, clothing, or medicine, as well as services like breakfast programs or education. These groups are often built for the daily needs of their communities, but mutual aid groups are also found throughout relief efforts, such as in natural disasters or pandemics like the COVID-19 pandemic.
