Mutual aid practices are essential for supporting community welfare continuously, not just in emergencies. With organizations like the Los Angeles Community Action Network, mutual aid provides food and a safe space for marginalized groups, such as those living on Skid Row. The People's Kitchen Collective reinforces this by connecting with farmworkers facing eviction to cultivate resilience. Historical ties to the Black Panther Party emphasize that addressing community needs through organized action has proven effective before and can be replicated to combat ongoing struggles and inequities today.
Mutual aid for me is a practice. It's not just something you do during an emergency. ... The emergency is 100% of the time at this point.
They were actively being evicted from their land in some of the most insidious ways, in some of the violent ways and some of just tragically oppressive ways.
It's not like it can't be done - it has been done, and it can continue to be done.
