★ What is Mutual Aid?

“Mutual aid is where people in an area, or a community, come together to support one another, collectively meeting each other’s needs without the help of official bodies like the state or NGOs. It often arises due to neglect of government provision for certain classes of people. Mutual aid, in simpler words, is cooperation for the common good. Mutual aid is a horizontal mode of organisation, aiming to break down hierarchies and practice collective decision making. The idea of solidarity, rather than charity, underpins mutual aid. Resources are unconditionally shared, as opposed to charity which is often conditional and means tested.”
