Mutual Aid

Mutual aid is an organizational model where voluntary, collaborative exchanges of resources and services for common benefit take place amongst community members to overcome social, economic, and political barriers to meeting common needs. This can include physical resources like food, clothing, or medicine, as well as services like breakfast programs or education.  (Wikipedia)

Spill the Tea

Create tiny afternoon pick-me-ups to brighten someone’s day, and “spill the tea” on your favorite form of resistance. Create a ‘zine with a list of local businesses engaged in mutual aid, or spread the word about an action (Whistles?) or a resource like this web site. Write little encouraging notes or details about an upcoming protest and tuck them into packs of afternoon joy.

Spreading joy is resistance!

Public Libraries

During Black History Month many libraries will have events and book displays. Visit your local library web site’s events page and see if there is something you’d like to attend. Walk in and ask if they have a list of recommended readings this month (or look for a display.) If you don’t have a library card, get one!
