Hi folks! I thought I'd do a quick thread on mutual aid, its origins, how it differs from charity, and how it is used on Twitter. I'm by no means an expert in this field, but it's something I've been learning about both in theory and practice, and I think it's really cool!
You may have seen fundraisers shared as "mutual aid opportunities." Or maybe you've seen #SettlerSaturday where folks share the needs of Indigenous families or individuals. Or maybe you give to @togetherrising or have received help from them. These are all forms of mutual aid.
Mutual aid differs from charity in a few ways. First, it happens within community, whether defined geographically, by marginalized identity, or otherwise. Second, there aren't givers & receivers, rather everyone rallies around the community member who currently needs support.

Today is the day the Declaration of Independence called us Natives “merciless Indian savages” simply for defending against attacks on our land and genocide on our families. Celebrate Natives continued existence by donating at #SettlerSaturday!

I currently don’t have an income, but my immediate needs are met. So please help those who need it first. Anything donated to me will go toward bar exam fees ($515) and probably coffee, as back to studying this month. paypal.me/EmmyNawjoopinga #SettlerSaturday
My brother just found out he is expected to haul all his stuff back from Haskell by Wed. 18! They are telling students if they can go home, go home. He’s been stressed out. If anybody can give a little gas $, he would be so relieved. #settlersaturday paypal.me/EmmyNawjoopinga
Wonder if people look at my bio & assume I am all boujee? Me, living at home with my parents on the Rez, sleeping in the living room. But I am grateful I am here during this time, as can help out my mom who is immune compromised, & my dad who just had ankle surgery.
I am mostly worried about my younger brother who is a student at Haskell, not just moneywise having to scrounge up coins last minute to get his things, but he benefits from the structure of classes and activities. He’s been having a hard time, as probably many students are now.
