Mutual Aid - February 21, 2024

Mutual aid is a practice wherein everyday people work together to meet the needs of those in their community. Racial justice groups like the Black Panther Party and Young Lords pioneered mutual aid by collectively sharing their skills and assets to offer community-led medical, food, housing, and educational assistance. Panelists discuss the decolonialist, antiracist, and anticapitalist roots of mutual aid as well as contemporary opportunities for action.
