It's emphasis is working together for a better world. When the institutions and systems we rely on cannot meet our needs, mutual aid is needed for us to rely on one another to fix the wrongs of society that can cause us to struggle. Mutual aid can't be achieved without cooperation, and understanding one another. There is a difference between mutual aid and charity, mutual aid involves building social connection to help people live their lives to the fullest without government intervention.

Another example could be regular people helping rebuild neighborhoods and sheltering one another after natural disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes.]]> 2023-02-12 00:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaiorano11/oyqgtn7vwqsmd61h/wish/2477580474 jmaiorano11 https://padlet.com/jmaiorano11/oyqgtn7vwqsmd61h/wish/2477580702 2023-02-12 00:57:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaiorano11/oyqgtn7vwqsmd61h/wish/2477580702 jmaiorano11 https://padlet.com/jmaiorano11/oyqgtn7vwqsmd61h/wish/2477581370 This video is about the Okra Project, an example of mutual aid in NYC helping black transgender people get meals.]]> 2023-02-12 01:00:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jmaiorano11/oyqgtn7vwqsmd61h/wish/2477581370 jmaiorano11 https://padlet.com/jmaiorano11/oyqgtn7vwqsmd61h/wish/2477582357 Here is an article about mutual aid and how it helped people that were impacted by the pandemic.
