Still always with the intention to #AbolishTheState MUTUAL AID > CHARITY [Image Description available in alt text] ALSO NEVER FORGET this page is collectively run by very busy small group of radical health care workers and organizers who’ve been doing this work for years and years. We are not professional activists who’ve gotten paid to do mutual aid or direct relief work. Much appreciation to the folks who have stuck thru and not only acknowledged and supported us with your donations or shout outs, but also those of you who’ve created your own little mutual aid groups and or projects yourselves! I Repost from @streetbox Hi!👋🏻👋🏻 Are you like me (a white settler raised in a society that normalized the violence of capitalism, colonialism & white supremacy)? Do you struggle with the concept of 'mutual aid' because you were conditioned to prioritize individuals over community? Do you ask yourself questions like "but, who is in charge"? Do you wonder how mutual aid groups "get anything done"? Well look no further! This resource is pulled directly from Wikipedia and the brilliant Dean Spade, a trans activist, writer and teacher. Let this be your first step into further researching and understanding mutual aid & white saviourism. Let this also be the foundation from which you analyze your charitable efforts - are they rooted in mutual aid, justice & community? Or are they tax receipts rooted in the continuation of the status quo? Why do you think you're more comfortable contributing to "official" charities? Why should a volunteer position benefit only yourself or your career? What questions can you ask the charities you care about to ensure justice principles are reflected? Who do those charities truly serve? Can you do both? Is your money, time & energy better served directly supporting the communities you live in? These are all questions I am asking myself as I continue to unpack the ways in which I contribute to the unending systems of oppression .」1月15日 2時31分
