"Mutual aid isn’t about charity. Charity is rich people deciding who deserves to eat. Charity is tax write-offs and galas and *awareness campaigns* while people ration insulin.

Mutual aid is different. It’s horizontal, not hierarchical. It’s the old “I’ve got you today, you’ve got me tomorrow.” It’s understanding that we’re all one medical bill away from disaster, and building networks of support before we need them.

Think Underground Railroad, not United Way. Think Black Panthers feeding kids while the FBI lost their minds. Think ACT UP creating healthcare networks while Reagan twiddled his thumbs. Think immigrant communities protecting each other while ICE plays their violent games."

The system isn't failing us - it's fu***ng us over exactly as planned. But we're building something better, and we need your help to grow it.

Got a car and a few hours to spare tomorrow? You can make a difference in your community by delivering much needed fresh food to folks who can no access food pantries! Every week, Rocky Mtn Mutual Aid volunteers head to the fabulous on Friday mornings, where we pick up boxes of groceries and deliver them directly to folks in need. Shifts take 1-2.5 hours and most deliveries are on the west side but we have a need for drivers that don’t mind driving to other areas in the metro area too.
