Mutual aid

Mutual aid is the practice of reciprocal support rooted in the recognition that we all need help sometimes and can all offer it—the difference from charity is that it assumes interdependence rather than pity, and that the giver and receiver are equals. It builds community while meeting material needs, restoring agency to people cast as passive victims.
