Our communities must rely on each other to survive and thrive. Mutual aid is critical for us to resist, care for each other, and build power.
After Donald Trump’s re-election in late 2024, Shareable staff saw the pressing need to build skills and pathways for those newly engaged in the shared struggles to come. We hosted four live Mutual Aid 101 sessions in February and March 2025. Full recordings of those sessions and additional sessions will be available as part of our Mutual Aid 101 Learning Series (Sign up for Shareable’s monthly newsletter to stay in the loop about upcoming sessions!).
To make the learning series as accessible as possible, we created a Mutual Aid 101 Toolkit. This toolkit breaks down the recordings from the four live sessions and provides additional context and resources from each session. Whether you choose to watch the videos, read the key takeaways and summaries, or a mix of both, we hope this toolkit is helpful for you to start or to fine-tune a mutual aid group in your community.
