What is Mutual Aid? ~
Mutual aid is a form of collaborative, direct action where neighbors work together to meet each other’s basic needs. It seeks to transform the world from the bottom up by building counter-cultural communities of care, compassion, and cooperation. It is a form of prefigurative politics where we work to build a new world in the shell of the old.
Mutual aid is about solidarity, not charity! It is about doing things with people rather than for people. We stand together. We struggle together. And we work together for the common good. Everyone gives. Everyone receives. Everyone has something to contribute.
“The opposite of poverty isn’t property. The opposite of both poverty and property is community. So let us discover our wealth; let us discover our solidarity; let us build up communities; let us take our lives into our own hands, and at long last out of the hands of the people who want to dominate and exploit us.”
