About this ebook
When times are tough, how can we thrive? By building strong communities and lifting each other up. You don't have to be rich, or poor, or wait for the government, or go to boring meetings. Mutual aid is for everyone, but it's easy to forget that when we feel lonely, at odds with each other, and disillusioned. This pocket-sized book is here to remind and inspire you with illustrated examples and encouraging tips from longtime community activists. Mutual aid can be as simple as getting to know your neighbors and making small gestures of generosity. It can grow as big as your network wants to make it. Wherever and whoever you are, whatever you have to offer, you can start today to build satisfying community connections.
