Mutual Aid Katarokwi-Kingston (original) (raw)
Join us Sept 26, 2024 for a reading group! Info and link below:
Mutual aid is the belief that cooperation trumps competition when it comes to fulfilling each other’s needs. Mutual aid stands in opposition to the social Darwinian brutality of unfettered capitalism. Mutual aid is acting in a spirit of social solidarity through autonomous direct action, stepping-up and standing in opposition to the ruthlessness that the current system has set loose upon us. Mutual Aid Katarokwi/Kingston believes that we must simultaneously address people’s immediate self-determined needs for survival and organize for fundamental shifts in the way we relate to each other and the earth.
