Hello Comrades, I am reaching out to the community because we urgently need financial support to winterize our mobile home before the freezing weather hits. We are a small family living in Hungary: an 83-year-old elderly mother who uses a…
Indonesia shows the pattern: over 70 percent of fire spots lie inside company concessions, 314,124 respiratory infections since 20 August, and five were charged over stolen relief money. Wherever extraction pays and institutions fail to catch the fall, the cost lands on ordinary people, and ordinary people cover it for each other. Support this week's mutual aid requests directly. Give to the ones you can, share each one in the group chats where you already hold trust, and ask one person with money to match what you gave.
A strike on a Gaza City apartment building killed five Palestinians, four of them women, two of them Christian, days before the third anniversary of October 7. The ceasefire-era toll stands at 1,454 dead. The mutual aid requests below are not abstractions sitting parallel to a news cycle; they are the people the news cycle keeps happening to, still needing rent covered, medication refilled. Give directly where you can afford to. Share what you can't fund.
Gaza’s per-capita income has collapsed 83 percent to 58 cents a day, UNCTAD reports, the worst economic collapse on record, with reconstruction needs now at $71.5 billion. This week’s roundup carries rent, medication, and evacuation costs for campaigns that have…
UNCTAD says Gaza's per-capita income has fallen 83 percent to 58 cents a day, the worst economic collapse on record, while reconstruction needs climb to $71.5 billion. Below this piece sits this week's mutual aid roundup: rent, medication, evacuation costs, campaigns that have sat underfunded for days the people behind them can't afford to lose. Give what you can move today. Share what you can't fund, because reach costs nothing, and none of this week's list can wait on anyone else's timeline.
At the UN, Trump said he's deciding whether to "annihilate" Iran, Pezeshkian answered with photos of children killed in strikes on a school. Iran's costs are being paid by people who had no seat at the UN podium this week. The mutual aid requests below carry some of that same weight: people absorbing decisions made in rooms they were never invited into. Give what you can move today. Share what you can't fund. A decision made in a General Assembly hall isn't reversible by mutual aid, but the rent someone's about to lose is, and that's still worth doing
Palestinians are being killed under a declared ceasefire while the US moves to supply Israel with forty thousand more bombs. Reconstruction remains stalled. This week’s mutual aid requests offer somewhere to act: redistribute what you can move today, and amplify the requests you can’t fund.
A white woman in Texas told two Muslim women they didn't belong in her Christian country. What Christian? What country? Why should the marginalised convince anyone who wants them harmed that they're peaceful and harmless? This week is charged with end-of-the-month distress on top of regular dehumanisation in the colonised lands. Give what you can, share these requests further than my feed can reach
My people are on the streets again in Indonesia. Everywhere the state decides certain people's survival is not a priority, the same infrastructure gap opens. The only thing that fills it is people deciding to fill it for each other. The full list is at the link. Some requests are urgent, some are overdue, and all of them need movement. Show up however possible, financially or by amplifying so someone who can give financially finds the request. Both matter.
Some weeks it feels like none of this matters. That feeling is rational; it is a system working exactly as intended. This week’s mutual aid roundup listed twelve requests and eleven Palestinian campaigns that need movement. Just like me, they need help. I’m unsure if I have any reasons or justifications other than I just felt like doing it, I just felt like listing them all. Maybe because they’re there, maybe because some weeks are harder than the rest, maybe because I can and don’t need any reason or justification to do something, or maybe because this is the only thing I can give them. We help not because we can, or because we want to, but because we must. If you can't or won't help me, then help them. Support them within your capacity in the way that matters—materially, socially, however you can.
