When friend groups fracture over mutual aid philosophy

Our friend group has been doing mutual aid in our neighborhood for two years but lately we've been arguing about everything — who deserves help, how much to give, whether we're enabling or empowering. We all care deeply but we're starting to fracture over these impossible questions and I'm afraid we'll stop helping anyone.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The complexity of truly helping others can reveal fundamental differences in how we understand compassion itself.
