Finding our own ways to stay safe shouldn't fall on us as individuals, but since the covid crisis isn't being addressed satisfactorily, we are stepping up to keep our communities safer and send the message that no one is disposable.
--> As disabled, BIPOC, queer/trans and poor people, we have a sacred history of resisting those who seek to oppress us, and the systems they have created.

--> In practicing mutual aid, we are improving conditions in our local communities and reducing the harm caused to the global majority.
"Mutual aid is the radical act of caring for each other while working to change the world." -- Dean Spade
