Streetside shares food and survival supplies in Aston Park every weekend. Check out the radical community calendar for details!

I was at a mutual aid food share recently & nearly all the folks there said the same: "I'm only taking what my family is going to use." Everyone was patient, respectful, & grateful. Sharing recipe ideas & gardening tips. The one saving grace of this nightmare is beautiful community. Embrace it.

We need to raise $5,100 to ship a truck of hygiene supplies worth $214,000 to Minneapolis - please donate if you're able to and share with others! The supplies will support immigrant households, unhoused individuals, and other community members in MPLS.

In this month’s newsletter, we speak to Community Solidarity Projects, a mutual aid group in LA and one of our long-time partners. They’ve so far built 234 HRT kits, with each one containing a year’s worth of supplies to support folks in accessing gender-affirming healthcare. 🫂

“We like to make it a party. We put music on, we dance, we have snacks and beverages for volunteers.” This is how @solidarityprojects approaches assembling kits for our Harm Reduction Toolkit project - with joy and in style 🪩🙌 Check out the full story --> distribute-aid.beehiiv.com

A great way to support immigrant communities in Minneapolis:

🏳️‍⚧️ Our friends in Fort Worth TX were busy assembling 150 3-month HRT harm reduction kits a few weeks ago! 🙌🏻 They’ll now be distributed to trans folks in Texas by Austin Mutual Aid and partners.

This whole 🧵!!

This is a great place to donate today, or any day!

oh a new book to read, i love the entire idea of disaster anarchy (and uh yeah like my name here, i love disaster joy!) bookshop.org/p/books/disa...

Weekly gratitude practice. What's everyone grateful for? I'm grateful for the people still fighting ICE in Minnesota, even though the surge has receded. Rapid responders responded to an abduction today. Lawyers are still fighting to get people released. My local mutual aid group is growing.

This is Minneapolis: We’re still at it. Our neighbors still need help staying housed. I’m literally emailing millionaires to see if we can get support (bc donations from average income people have understandably slowed to a trickle). What a world.

Chapter 2 of the Elements of Mutual Aid is now out, and it's beautiful - I highly recommend it to everyone. youtu.be/AGNt57fUoJA

DMDM (@dmdmmutualaid on IG) are raising funds to send 200 tourniquets to Lebanon on our upcoming shipment. Just $15 can get a tourniquet into the hands of medics and help save lives.

Solnit’s must-read book debunks the myth that disasters bring out the worst in people; @r-emrys.bsky.social writes about how we need more speculative stories about how humans (and governments) truly behave in times of crisis and tragedy.

Amazing new documentary. "Mutual aid is the spark of our humanity that we have to defend while those in power try to stomp it out. This chapter sets the foundation: What is mutual aid, how is it different from charity, and why is it at odds with the ruling class?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=56ZG...

what an amazing thing to donate to this weekend.

Best part of my May Day experience: My disabled partner used their food stamps to make a whole bunch of lunch bags. I took the bags to our event location early to hand out to houseless ppl who live at the park & give them a heads up we would be intruding / sharing the space.

the biggest gift of witnessing Minnesotan resistance is the spark of hope you get from the moments that feel like something new another world is possible and we are making it we are tired but we will take turns our hearts grow when we feel collective care we see the possibilities in each other

In April we sent: $2950 in no-questions-asked monthly stipends to unhoused & recently housed neighbors $1000 in rent support $1000 in utility support $910 in other housing fees Grand total of redistributed funds: $5860 Thank you for all your support 🏴🖤

If anyone knows sources of pads in the US, please DM me. There's still time to include them on @distributeaid.org's upcoming emergency airfreight shipment to Lebanon.

Also: if you have money to donate, this is a great time to support networks like Mutual Aid Disaster Relief and @distributeaid.org, which are building mutual aid infrastructure around the US (and the world). mutualaiddisasterrelief.org distributeaid.org

Greenville, SC:

This is a good point. Dean Spade distinguishes mutual aid from charity in a bunch of ways, including that it's "connected to other tactics, including disruptive tactics aimed at the root causes of distress." Feels like that's gotten a little lost in current usage

Some cool things that will be available at the craft fair: mini art prints and originals by @jkmakes.bsky.social and gorgeous gemstone jewelry by @redcolumbine.bsky.social! 💖

When I share cool #solarpunk stuff near me (repair cafes, creative reuse shops, food coops), I very often have folks say "gosh, I wish there was something like that near me"... and there very often is, they just didn't know to look. Once you start looking, this stuff is *everywhere*...

phew, lots of announcements this week about projects i've been working on! so grateful for the opportunity to make an editorial collage illustration for this awesome @sixtyinchesfromcenter.org resource list - it's my first published work of this type. the team at sixty was amazing to work with :)

I’ll be hanging out at the MAMAS table from about 12:30-2, come say hi and chat about mutual aid 💜
