What is Mutual Aid?
Mutual aid is the practice of sharing care, resources, and services within a community, for the people, by the people. It’s a community meeting each other’s needs, with the recognition that the unjust system does not, while working to build connections, infrastructure, and solutions that ensure we address and mend the gaps.
With the mission to work from the grassroots, bringing solidarity and radical love to marginalized communities and local people, we have worked to cultivate a Sacramento-oriented mutual aid campaign dedicated to redistributing wealth, education, food, and other essential resources.
